Stuff like this is why certain personalities and pundits refuse to be interviewed on the news unless it’s live so they can’t be edited out of context.

Comic description
In case of broken image links or accessibility issues with today’s cartoon, here’s the gist of today’s cartoon:
Noah, in the midst of his dusting chores, spots Ursula and Lily sitting at a desk filming an episode for the Ursula News Network. He smiles and says, “Aw, look at you kids playing CNN…”
Ursula asks, “Daddy, wanna be interviewed for a story?”
He is thrilled, clasping his hands together and grinning as he says, “Sure thing! Y’know, Daddy’s got an all-ages gig at Pirate Days in a couple weeks. You can help me promote it to your little friends and their families.”
Ursula, blasé, says, “OK?” while Noah says, “Lemme go get changed…”
We next see the TV screen as Ursula’s interview with Noah is shown. At the top is a headline saying “URSULA NEWS NETWORK EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS!” Noah is dressed like a pirate in a billowy white shirt and a black eye patch with a stuffed toy parrot on his shoulder as he says, “So I sez, why not? I’ll eat ’em all!”
The bottom headlines read: “PEANUT BUTTER CUP THIEF CAUGHT! MYSTERY OF THE MISSING HALLOWE’EN CANDY HAUL FINALLY SOLVED AS LOCAL MAN ADMITS GUILT.”
Off-camera, Noah is upset, saying, “Gah! You edited me outta context! Daddy was talking about free Costco cheese puff samples!!!”
