Again, I'm no Anders supporter, but people complain and wonder why we only ever get dishonest politicians who only regurgitate party talking points?
This reporter sounds spineless to set up a lunch and lead someone to believe they're being given an honest interview only to use it to make try and make them look bad. Shame.

If a member of the media is interviewing you - you have to expect that the contents of that interview are going to make their way into the article. To go off on a diatribe like he obviously did shows a complete lack of cognitive thought on the part of Rob Anders. He is obviously not a smart man, not for taking the position (which itself is sort of stupid) but for going to the media and actually stating it. It isn't about being honest - it is about being sensible
