The broadcast media will often use the term “time constraints” demanding they remove extraneous stuff - this is never questioned by the candidates as they believe the important issues will be included.
The moderator/questioner is never edited - and their queries tend to be overly lengthy - only the responses are edited.
What does that say to all of us?
If I was Sarah - I would take my own tape recorder and hold it in my lap while being questioned. If asked about it - I would say to the questioner: “To keep you honest”.
