No worries Erik, Indian media is known for misquoting :)
Please let's not generalize the problem of mis quoting and then specifically use it as a pejorative within the context of the Indian media. Anyone who reads through various news sources realizes that perspectives and points of view differs within media houses and, putting a spin on things is global.
Last time a journo asked me on what are the chances of foundation office in Bangalore. I said Bangalore has ( probably) a fair chance , considering the presence of a vibrant Wiki-community & chapter office here. The next day's headline was "Bangalore set to have Wikimedia office " :)
That headline might have actually ended up getting readers to read the news article and help in publicizing in some way.
