I'm afraid we'll see reporters stop chasing quotes around the same time dogs stop chasing cars.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are two things that won't last long in this world, and that's dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars.
Journalists have misquoted people for so long - and quoted them out of context that for many people like to have their words on record.
What I've learned is that people have a desire to talk after the first line of reporters go away, and they are no longer speaking out of shock.
As journalists, we keep pushing and pushing.

I see dog stories as an antidote to the dire news that nothing is ever going to get better.
I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president.
When journalists forget that our job is to question and annoy those in power, there can be huge consequences.
I don't even like being quoted in a press release.
Journalists are like dogs, when ever anything moves they begin to bark.
