I learned my lesson about the media after a spate of interviews I did about a decade ago. The difference between what I said, and what they cut and edited it into was completely wild. It completely changed the narrative.

It as a result completely changed how I see everything in the media. It's not that I distrust it as such, but...I try to ensure I can get as many angles as possible to converge into a more whole picture, as opposed to fewer sources.
