Does this headline seem fair to you? He’s a former ambulance driver, and his complaint is the new cycle lanes will prevent vehicles from moving out of the way of an ambulance. The headline presents this as him being concerned about damaging his car should he accidentally drive over one. It seems like a very clickbaity way to present the article if you ask me.

        Because he used the quote symbol for something that wasn’t a quote.

        Quoting something I said, in a manner that completely changes what was said, and presenting it in a manner that makes it sound like it came from the article is shifty as hell.

          You are the only one who thinks any of that. It was perfectly clear he was quoting you. And no, he didn’t “completely change what was said”.

            You don’t see how this changes anything?
