People like Carlson that use that "out of context" disclaimer seem to be unaware that EVERY quote quoted EVERYWHERE is a quote out of context. I guess their wish is that the INOFFENSIVE part were the one quoted. Maybe , knowing that, they should tailor both their writings and their public statements more carefully so that the individual parts of their arguments stand by themselves as self-explanatory,and do not contradict or get contradicted by any other part. That is a virtual definition of what the best writers do, like, for example,
George Orwell.---

And when they can't get away with "out of context," they try the "botched joke" defense. Twits.
