The National Enquirer is by far the most accurate newspaper in the US when it comes to strictly reporting facts and never misquoting anybody. That's because they are right-wing muckrackers, so every time they screw up, they get sued for defamation, and lose.

They get sued for defamation all the time. They almost never lose.

A person I know has to deal with press interviews on a relatively regular basis. Every time he reads an article for which he was interviewed, he says, he finds misquotes in the article. Except the one time it was the Enquirer.




Well, in that respect De Telegraaf isn't like the National Enquirer at all.

What is De Telegraaf like then? It puts an emphasis on gossip, fear mongering, photos of barely clad women, fringe science, the national pastime (soccer), political scandal, the Dutch royal family, murder and sexual abuse cases, and immigrants suspected of crimes.

I doubt that Woz knew what he was getting himself into when he was interviewed by De Telegraaf.
