Something I only saw out of the corner of my eye (metaphorically-speaking) on Newsnight a week or two ago was looked at full on by a blogger new to me but well worth a read:
Anything you say will be taken down...
Misconstrued, misunderstood, distorted and twisted beyond credibility.. and then used against you.
In this case I am talking about what David Cameron said in the Paxman interview for Panorama today, what Michael Crick said about it, and indeed what the press in the North East and Northern Ireland have said about it.
What David Cameron actually said was that the public sector was too large a part of the economies of several parts of the UK (In Northern Ireland the public sector accounts for 68% of GDP and in the North East 63%) and so the solution is to increase the size of the private sector. Obvious really.
However this has been turned on its head into swinging cuts in both areas. This is not what he said, meant or intended. It is a clear distortion.
