There's nothing wrong with the individual quotes, just that they aren't representative of the article. Have you never heard of selective quotation?
Could you give us some better quotes?
If I had to choose representative quotes, I'd choose the headlines or first sentences. But what's the point? The only reason we are talking about this is the claim of distortion, not to summarize the science, let alone the science coverage.
