They can only distort so much. No one should be let off the hook for saying stupid things. Also, the more careful someone is, the fewer media outlets will distort it.

Not true. Half the time the MSM won't even properly quote, interview, cite, or cover Republicans NOR cover their events, speeches, presentations. In this day and age (and by my count, the last 15 years), one, sometimes needs to have a soundbyte which gets the MSM smelling fresh blood, in order to have it covered.

Sometimes, one can tell a great deal about the rightness or wrongness of a news report if: a) one knows a bit or so about the person being "written" about, and b) if one has faith in the party they profess to have faith in.

I'm not for blind faith. Just couple the three facts I've enumerated above; it might help ya know when you are being taken on a long walk on a short pier by the MSM, and being observed by your fellow Freepers. :)

"They can only distort so much."

You are right. They can only distort it up to 180 degrees from what was said.

Distorting it 180 degrees is what they did.
