Part of a journalist’s job is to report the truth, and sometimes that means providing context to what people say.
Suppose I were to write the following: “Bananas have tremendous nutritional value, being loaded with potassium, and make a fine substitute for eggs when baking. While they are an excellent nutritional choice, I personally think they taste disgusting.” For a journalist to then summarize my comments as, “Paul describes bananas as ‘disgusting,'” without acknowledging the qualifier illustrating the nutritional value of bananas, is a failure to report the full truth.
