Unfortunately it's common for newspaper articles to misquote people or to
give the impression that a joking remark was meant seriously. Mostly it's
due to carelessness or deadline pressure rather than a hostile agenda. I've
written a letter to the Post about the "birders all lie" remark and they
indicated they'll probably publish it, presumably in the next few days.
