I can certainly understand a desire to record all communications with the media. Cuts down on their ability to get away with selectively quoting.
Rush Limbaugh's radio broadcasts are recorded by his staff, listeners, subscribers, and "opposition research teams" and yet Media Matters still selectively redacts quotes and someone posted fraudulent Wikipedia quotes and Rush STILL cannot get the genuine words out to the media.
Why is a liberal Democrat worried that he's going to be treated "wrong" by the media?
