Whenever sources have said that to me in the past, Liz, I’ve responded with: “No it isn’t. If you don’t want it to appear in tomorrow’s paper (when I wrote) or on the radio, then don’t say it.” There were exceptions, sometimes, if it was a reliable source I’d known for a long time. But the fact is, if it’s a news story, they cannot retroactively say, “Oh, by the way, that’s off the record.” Once the horse is out of the barn, it’s fair game to be reported.

BRILLIANT! LMAO
