How I learned NOT to talk to reporters over the phone.
When this guy asked me what I do for a living, I told him I was a stay-at-home dad at the time, but that I had worked as a chemical technician, and that I was currently working part-time as a cab driver. All true. He chose to go with, 'Unemployed chemical technician.' Technically true, but a smear job nonetheless.
Observe how that came out in his version, plus the fact that he bundled my story in with a bona fide wingnut.
Then when I got a call from Mathew von Dongen about my signing the 'climate emergency' declaration I refused a telephone interview. Instead, I told him to email the questions to me and that I would reply by email. This way, I would have a record of what was actually said vs. what was reported. I guess Joanna Frketich got the assignment. Her report was satisfactory.
