Twitter Misquotes

I always thought it was funny when famous people and athletes claimed they were misquoted in news publications.  I remember years ago when a former NBA all-star claimed he was misquoted in his autobiography...he wrote the book himself (or at least helped a little bit).  In this world of "new media" people often become their own journalists reporting on their lives.  You can interview yourself, and release statements without a pricey publicist.  You can tell your whole life story (160 characters at a time) on Twitter, and this form of expression has been adopted by many celebrities and athletes. 

The question now is, since Twitter is pretty much a first-person communication device, is it still possible to get misquoted?  Miami Heat's LeBron James says yes.

Earlier this week, LeBron's former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers received a 55 point beat down by the Los Angeles.  During the game LeBron tweeted this, "Karma is a b****.. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!" As harsh (and ridiculous, like God watches the NBA) as it sounded, it made sense.  Everybody knows there is no love lost between LeBron and the Cavs.  The next day LeBron says he didn't tweet that, and that someone else was responsible for writing that, even though Twitter confirmed the tweet's authenticity.  Did King James misquote himself?  Is that possible.  I'm not buying it, I call B.S.  What do you think?
