I was a student in high school and did interviews for both a local newspaper and television station.
In both instances they misrepresented what I said, editing or rearranging my words to construct a different narrative, or in the case of the newspaper they just made up things.
The stories weren't even about anything serious, just local hometown feel-good filler stories and the actual, literal, lies that the journalists willfully constructed were inconsequential and actually made me look good.
But I figured if are willing to lie about something so trivial as what they lied about, then it was highly likely the entire system is a sham.
