Breaking News: Some gossip sites have less than unimpeachable journalistic standards

So last week, I sent in the following tip to Wonkette:

anyone there know if john negroponte has had a problem with booze? saw him picking up a 6-pack of o'douls last nite at the liquor store on calvert street.
They reproduced it as:
John Negroponte must have a problem with booze, cause I saw him picking up a 6-pack of O’douls last night [10/25] at the liquor store on Calvert street.
Call me Andy Rooney or whatever, but this seems to me to change the meaning enough to be not really okay.
