I don't think he was doing that to embellish his position, just to point out the "offending" comment. Had he NOT bolded it, I (and likely several others) might have never realized the offensive statement in question. Otherwise, I do agree with the sentiment of your post, but I don't think that was the case here.

The above being said, it does seem that "the media" often gets facts wrong, mangles things they don't understand and leaps to conclusions as if it's an Olympic event at times.

Skip always seems like a decent guy in his replies, I doubt he was trying to rankle anyone purposefully. If the linked-to article or comments contained errors, it's hardly his fault for pointing that out.
