Suppose Bob, a famous critic, said that Tropers: The Movie "had the potential to be a great work of art in different hands, but the lead actor is a coke fiend and the director was Uwe Boll," but the commercial would only quote Bob: "...a great work of art." When this technique is practiced on audio to make a deceptive soundbite, (as in confessional interviews on reality shows, or comments that are then used as voiceovers), it's called a "Frankenbite". Examples of Quote Mine include:

  • Suppose Bob, a famous critic, said that Tropers: The Movie "had the potential to be a great work of art in different hands, but the lead actor is a coke fiend and the director was Uwe Boll," but the commercial would only quote Bob: "...a great work of art." The commercial has just quote mined. It's a dirty, rotten, low-down trick, one of The Oldest Ones in the Book, and is a subtrope of Blatant Lies. Features commonly in sloppy rhetoric and propaganda pieces. Unfortunately, this usually works with an ill-informed audience, as the speaker can usually expect that they will not check the source for the quotes. Frequently used as part of an ad hominem fallacious argument. When this technique is practiced on audio to make a deceptive soundbite, (as in confessional interviews on reality shows, or comments that are then used as voiceovers), it's called a "Frankenbite". Compare/Contrast Quote Swear Unquote (fiddling with quotes, but not passing them off as accurate). Also compare Manipulative Editing. Very likely to lead to Beam Me Up, Scotty. Despite the similarity in sound, has nothing to do with Enemy Mine. Examples of Quote Mine include:
