It requires more than just superficial thinking, but nothing really sophisticated. Just common sense and a willingness to consider context, that is all.
If you do not consider context you open yourself up to being manipulated by selective quotes, incomplete quotes, and quotes taken entirely out of context.
The press did just that to Donald Trump on this database of Muslims business, and I spoke out against it. You are doing the same thing to Ted Cruz. You ought to cease and desist, as you are perpetuating lies. It’s wrong no matter who is the victim.
I’m certainly aware of the media tricks. I asked an honest question and was fortunate to receive helpful feedback. It’s not me trying to feed into a false notion, rather, it was my seeking to learn the truth. Thanks
