We never said matter is expanding into space.

The above link is to 3 pages from Popular Science magazine, from December 1932.
At the beginning of the article it looks like they are talking about some sort of an explosion, but on page 2 we have the following:
"The nebulae are not running away from us. Their recession is due to expansion of space. This may, perhaps, seem to be quibbling over terms, since it amounts to the same thing in the end. Nevertheless, the distinction is worth keeping. According to the relativity theory, there is a difference between the running away of the nebulae and expansion of the medium in which they are embedded."
The idea that the Earth is apparently receding from a distant galaxy faster than c does not mean measurements are skewed from our vantage point as relativity tells us that all vantage points are essentially equivalent.
Apart from the relatively small peculiar motions of galaxies with respect to their close neighbours due to gravitation, all galaxies can consider themselves at rest and that the rest of the universe is expanding away from them. Wherever you are, the further you look the faster a galaxy apparently recedes.
