Politicians vs. Hidden Cameras -- and the Risks of Explanations
We continue to see the fallout of politicians not understanding the
new reality of ubiquitous small video recording devices (aka
smartphones) and the Internet as a distribution medium. Traditional
political "privacy" -- the freedom to say different things to
different groups without them easily knowing of the variances, no
longer exists.
As we can see from this comparison tape, such events put politicos in
the uncomfortable position -- after their remarks are exposed -- of
needing to provide an initial explanation quickly (usually the
accurate one since there's not enough time for much "creativity"), and
then later "pivoting" -- in this case 180 degrees -- for damage control
once the full political ramifications are understood.
The cameras are everywhere! Politicians beware!
