They’re so prone to getting cute with the editing to make any given conservative interviewee appear to have said something that they didn’t say
If the phony editing keeps up it won't be long before an interview will look and sound like one of those really bad voice over Kung-Fu movies.

"While such recording may be almost “legal” to reveal covertly recorded conversation publicly is still against a host of US communications laws."

That presumes to know the terms of their agreement, which we do not.

Jones is shrewd enough to have caveat ex "I'm using this on my show to promote my show, too." And ms helmethead is absolutely dumb enough to have agreed. Listen to her loose talk on the excerpt jones already released! There would be NO case.

Any time you are asked to give an interview with a journalist you should only agree to it if your own people are there to record it.

NOPE. Best not to tell them and do it secretly.

"Everyone should record their interviews with the Fake Media."

a thousand times THIS.

If you cannot bring an open press conference like Casebier did (a brave soul indeed), record record record. Better yet don't give them jack to begin with ...

Bodycams are a bit different. That falls under anything in public can be recorded scenario (in most states). Other than bathrooms and locker rooms, one does not have a reasonable right to privacy while in public.

I’m sure it can get dicey if you record someone whispering at a dinner table at Olive Garden, but anything loud enough to be heard is considered free game.

“Alex Jones is just entertainment...he admitted that in court.”

Probably an untrue statement about what he said.

He might be an entertainer, but he doesn’t do it just to entertain.

Homer Simpson interview (starts at :30, :58 is also typical)

He should have waited until after she aired the interview and misrepresented him.

Now she has time to edit it and make it look like she and NBC are not as bad as they are.

Wrong. Many states allow a party to a conversation to record that conversation.

Where it becomes illegal in most states is the recording of a conversation between others when you are not a part of that conversation and they do not give consent.

Megan Kelly bet her career on hilLIARy winning.

She thought she would jump to CNN and be a media darling, and President HilLIARy’s BFF for helping to take down Trump.

I learned a very valuable lesson...a painful lesson...several years ago when I did an interview with a local urinalist for the local rag.

It was all local politics dealing with revenue enforcement, benign boring crap, truth be told, but she edited the interview to make it appear that I was calling in the Internal Revenue Service, the ATF and the DEA, relating to commercial vendors in the Worlds Longest Yard Sale.

Little did the bitch know that I also recorded the interview...it protected my job, but I didn't have the audience to get the truth out like she had to get the lies out...so even though I won, she won more since I was never able to publicly rebuke what she published.

I said then that I would never do another interview and despite several requests and one official directive to do so, I flat refused and never did do another one.

Screw the press...period.

It looks as if Texas is a one party consent state. I think the interview took place there. I’m not sure. I wonder how an interstate interview with conflicting laws would be handled.

Other than bathrooms and locker rooms, one does not have a reasonable right to privacy while in public.

As a general rule that is true but exceptions can be made. There was a case a few years ago when a man was sued (or prosecuted, I can't remember which) for placing a small camera on an open staircase so that it was aimed up the skirts of ladies walking on the staircase. The court ruled in the ladies' favor claiming that they had a reasonable right to privacy against someone aiming a camera up their skirts.

There’s no way he should have to do it secretly. I would make a condition of giving the interview that I also be able to record the interview...

I agree, but, in this case, he has messed with them so that they will probably have to re-do the whole hack-job interview she has ready to air. My bet is they will cancel the airing.
