Did you read the interview? It is like half of the questions she avoids answering.
Yes, I did read the interview. This is why I am wondering about your comment.
Hmm 🤔 Looking at the interview again now, they seem to have further edited and shortend it making it less obvious how much question dodging she seems to have done.
There is still no real substance in it, but at least it reads less painful than the version from yesterday.
The posted version was published yesterday, 18 Feb at 17:08, and there is no edited version now as I write this comment. It’s the same version.
The Internet archive seems to have not captured the old version either, but I am not making it up, and the article does say the the interview was edited for “clarity”.
Remarks like the one on the site like “What follows is an edited transcript” are done by journalists to signal that the interviewee hasn’t said so literally, because the spoken word is different from the written one. They edit minor things from the transcript. That doesn’t mean that the article has been edited.
And as we can see from the data on the original site, the article has indeed been not edited.
Yes I am aware of that of course, but I find it very insulting that you accuse me of lying about this. Why would I even do that?
I don’t accuse you -nor anyone else- of nothing. I am just stating the facts.
A website can of course change its content any time without stating so. There are no facts to be had here other that I acknoledge that the current version reads different from my memory of the version I read yesterday. I have no reason to lie about that and am also confused why they would change the interview that much without clearly marking it. You can of course chose to believe that I am lying, but that is quite rude.
I don’t say you make something up, but they don’t say to have edited for “clarity,” I can’t see this at least (just correct me if I am wrong). They are really referring to the transcript as already said.

Fine, it doesn’t use the word “clarity” here:
🙄
Clarity was your word. And the transcript is always edited as someone already explained. But the article doesn’t appear to have been edited indeed. It’s the original version.
You have as little proof of that as I do. And later editing of articles and headlines without any note of that is sadly extremely common with online media especially when is comes to breaking news where the outlets complete with each other to have exclusive scopes on their website faster than others.
