Mayhill Fowler says she didn't hide that she was recording ex-President Clinton's angry words ("sleazy" . . . "slimy" . . . "dishonest" . . . "scumbag") about a
Vanity Fair
reporter, while he greeted voters in public as he campaigned for his
wife in June 2008. BUT Clinton obviously did not know Fowler was a
HuffPost
"citizen journalist." Should she have ID'd herself? (She clearly got a more honest take from Clinton than if he'd known she was a journalist.)
Shouldn't
public figures know nowadays that anything said in public -- especially
rants (or racism) -- will be recorded and on record forever? Exhibits
A and
B.
Mayhill Fowler's earlier reporting scoop that launched
"Bittergate" uproar. This year's bittergate: "
47%-gate."
