I worked for mainstream media for most of my adult life. I think some journalists don’t understand that technology has erased the line between professionals and amateurs. Or they get it but they don’t know what to do about it.

When a public figure speaks in a public place, he has to assume that what he says is public. It may appear in a newspaper; it may appear on a blog.
