"Note to self: If ever giving an interview use a pocket recorder."
This is so, so, so important. You should have every right to have, at a minimum, an audio recording of the interview for your own records to be able to prove what was or wasn't said, how the interview was cut up, to counter any false impressions from creative editing.
The fact that ABC was purportedly using a 20 year old piece of equipment, didn't place you in a studio and then stated they "missed" the first take just sets off a BS alarm. It may be a standard tactic to say the first go around was flubbed so that when the same questions are asked the second time around one doesn't come across as genuine because one tends to be rewinding to remember how the more spontaneous response to the first round was framed. Then again for some this would not be an issue and one could very well be able to be more succinct.
PS: Did ABC risk losing the a first go around by using 20 year old equipment when it interviewed "The Chicks"?
