With cut and past interviews and forged documents, I don't believe anything in the news anymore unless it is a live interview and I hear it with my own ears the first time around.

'"Our public diplomacy efforts aren't ... very robust, and aren't very good, compared to the public diplomacy efforts of those who would like to spread hatred and ... and vilify the United States," Bush said.'

Okay, I've caught my breath and I have a thought. Maybe we should wait and see what the questions were, and tone of the interview, etc?

I have to believe the content has been taken out of context. You know, the msm would never do that.....

Question for journos, ex-journos, and people in the know:

When quoting someone's speech, is it standard procedure, say with a quote like the following

"Our public diplomacy efforts aren't ... very robust, and aren't very good, compared to the public diplomacy efforts of those who would like to spread hatred and ... and vilify the United States,"

to leave in the pauses ... and ... and repeated words?

Or is Reuters indulging itself in a subtle dig at the President.

I never wanted my Pres to be "diplomatic". I want him to tell it like it is and exude American Pride.

Yeah, maybe we should. Too many people on FR go postal every time a story like this appears and they look very foolish when it turns out that the media is distorting what was actually said.
