Curator: A magazine recently ran a very misleading story on the reaction of local residents to our controversial art exhibit  They quoted the responses of three residents, all of whom expressed a sense of moral outrage
These quotations were intended to suggest that most local residents oppose the exhibit; the story failed to mention, however, the fact that the three residents are all close friends
It is misleading to present the opinions of people with no special expertise on a subject as though they were experts.
