Well now it emerges they cut out a key part of his answer about abortion - which then predictably sparked a bit of a furore in the US.
The 16-year-old was quoted as saying that he did not believe in abortion, making a rather emotive reference to "killing babies" - but the crucial misquote came when he was asked a follow-up question about rape victims.
He was quoted as saying: "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."
But Rolling Stone's hapless hacks have now admitted that he actually said: "Um. Well, I think that's really sad, but everything happens for a reason. I don't know how that would be a reason. I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that."
Activists on both sides of the abortion debate have been getting their knickers in a twist over the quote since the story broke yesterday - so hopefully they can all calm down a bit now.
At least they didn't mess it up as badly as Peter Andre fluffed his interview with the Biebster though.
What do you reckon? Were they stupid questions to ask Justin? Comment below...

Precocious celebs
The Biebster is the current crown prince of pop - and it's a very brave person who says anything against the precocious pop moppet, because his army of "Beliebers" are swift to exact their vengence.
But that's exactly what that nice Scottt Mills from Radio 1 did after an unpleasant interview with an unfriendly Biebs.
He said: "Someone needs to have a word with him. He's a precocious little brat."
We're Team Scott all the way on this one!
Precocious doesn't always have to mean bad though - as the perfectly pleasant young Jaden Smith proves.
The star of the Karate Kid remake may have had a little help getting the job from his famous dad, but he's undeniably talented and not at all a brat.
Hair-whipping cutie Willow Smith is definitely giving big bro Jaden a run for his money in the precocious stakes.
She's lined-up to play little orphan Annie in a remake of the, erm, classic musical - again produced by dad Will Smith.
Still don't think she's precocious? Check out this quote: "I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, and the camera stuff from both."
Case closed.
OK, she might be a fully-grown woman now, but we remember when Charlotte Church was a fresh-faced, and rather precocious, young singing star.
Not in a bad way of course. In fact we interviewed her when she was 12 and she was a delightful young lady.
She was smarter, funnier and more engaging than most adult celebs we've met - so we'll always be on Team Charlotte.
And precocious doesn't always have to mean young either, as far as we're concerned. And we think Ke$ha proves our point nicely.
The attention-seeking pop star might be 23 years old, but she's made a career out of acting like a spoilt teenager.
We could go on... but just look at the photo and we think you'll get the picture.
Same hair, different celebs! But at least Jedward have better dress sense than Ke$ha. Arf arf.
We're not sure that the terrible twosome fit the usual meaning of precocious - since it's usually applied to people with a certain amount of talent.
One thing we do know is that we won;t get sued if we say they're definitely brats.
Just kidding lads, we love you really.
They've not really made much of a splash over here yet, but the Jonas Brothers have been massive in the states for a few years now.
The group started as a vehicle for Nick Jonas, who's been performing since the age of seven when he appeared ina Broadway play.
They got their first real break as a band by appearing alongside the equally precocious Miley Cyrus in Disney's Hannah Montana - and later had a starring role in the same channel's Camp Rock.
They're now as big as Jesus in the states - although they wouldn't dare say that.
Speak of the devil. Here's the artists formerly known as Hannah Montana herself!
Miley Cyrus has left her clean-cut Disney persona far, far behind her now though - and seems to have taken over from Pete Doherty as the most controversial star in celebland.
Well, she was filmed sucking on a bong at her 18th birthday party anyway.
Miley has also hit the headlines several times for wearing skimpy clothes (such as this side boob-revealing outfit), dirty dancing with older men and generally being rather precocious.
Regular Eleven readers will know that we regard Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen as the American version of Kevin the Teenager.
But that's doing her a dis-service, because she could also be described as Courtney Love's mini-me.
Whatever has caused the wannabe rock chick to cop such an attitude, we hope she gets it out her system soon because it's getting a bit tiresome now.
She's in her early 20s already, but to us there'll always be something of the precocious teenager about Peaches Geldof.
With a failed marriage behind her already and a series of sex, drugs and daft comments scandals to her name she's always good value from a celeb journo's point of view.
And her recent habit of posting pretentious comments about French philosophers on Twitter ups the precocious count nicely.
