Not least because his entire journalistic career was built on gleefully taking things out of context and misrepresenting people.
He's now been entirely discredited and everyone is counting down the hours till he goes so what does it matter if this one thing he said didn't mean what his critics said it did?

You seem to be confused. I'm not defending him. Fuck him. He deserves everything that's coming to him.
I'm pointing out that attacking him over a misrepresented soundbite is counter-productive as it makes the people doing it look like utter morons. Six-year-olds know what an analogy is. This stuff is absolutely basic. Do better.

As it happens, I didn't. Try not to let that shatter your world too much.
