I've been in an official capacity in the last few years where I get quoted by 
the media on a regular basis, and 95% of the time, they DON'T GET IT RIGHT.  
They either completely misquote you, or pick and choose words you actually 
said, but in a different order, or with other words added.  Most reporters 
have their own agenda, and will skew and spin whatever you said into whatever 
their story is about.  (Note I said MOST....John Sheally, if you're reading 
this, present company is excluded of course).  Morgan might actually have 
said "We don't need {a disagreement with our distributors in} the US.  {The 
law requiring side marker lights is silly}.  It could go away tomorrow and we 
wouldn't notice it."

I've had more editing than this done to statements of mine.......
