When people hear anecdotes like this, it gives the impression that the press is withholding information from them. That's not good for trust!
I really think the industry needs to have a conversation about the ethics of *knowingly* allowing public figures to lie in public and then say other things in private. It's misleading! What's more important: your access, or being straight with readers?
