A different, more neutral example for you - EU says: We will help Greece financially. But, only if Greece accepts difficult reforms and extraordinary austerity measures. If you look at everything that's been said, it's clear that EU will give Greece monetary aid if Greece agrees to the conditions. If you choose to ignore the second sentence, it would mean the EU will help Greece without any additional conditions.

That's why it is important to take everything that's been said into account. If you pick only one sentence you like and ignore the rest, you'll get a distorted picture.

This explanation was in case that you b) weren't fully aware of it. In case of a) you're doing it on purpose, there's not much I can do.
