Lisa, If a quotation does not properly show that there is a break in the original text, the writer or editor is possibly unaware of the correct method of presenting quoted material.
If it is done intentionally, however, to mislead the reader, then it is intellectual dishonesty and possibly libel. If you publish that I said I wanted to kill Queen Elizabeth II, and in fact I did not say that, you have damaged my reputation by your intellectual dishonesty and I can sue the hell out of you.
