Actually, the New York Times v. Sullivan decision looks like a strong precedent in this case. Sullivan is the unanimous 1964 SCOTUS decision which makes it hard for politicians to sue for libel, on grounds that freedom to criticize politicians is fundamental.

Airing a videotape of politician skulduggery would seem to fit that mold nicely - and to air it, you have to tape it first.
