I am wondering more and more about this.
When somebody is surreptitiously recorded, and the recordings are called “scandalous”, though there is nothing illegal or in any way scandalous about them, it should make you wonder.
I don't wonder though. I know the media is full of lying scumbags who misrepresent close to 100% of what goes to print. Not always intentionally, mind you, but the press is emphatically NOT a reflection of reality.
