Or, "he was quoted as saying this in this article. He encouraged people to read the article, but years later, he said that that line was a misquote."

The fact that I recommend people to read an article in which I'm cited doesn't imply that I believe that the article is 100% factually correct.

In general journalists do simply the positions of the people they quote. Depending on the context I might be okay with a slight alteration of my position in the article as long as the main points I want to make appear in the article. If the quote then gets lifted into another context, I might have a problem.
