It's truly indefensible to not lead every newscast with this. If it had been caught on a hot mic or in a secret recording , it would be wall-to-wall coverage. The fact that "cuz he said it in public, it doesn't count" is still an operating journalistic principle is maddening.

Huh? I feel pretty confident that there is not a single journalist who thinks that if an elected official says something in public “it doesn’t count.” Though I agree with you, this statement is A1 and A-block.
