Denise Graveline has a refreshing take on news that the presidential campaigns insist on reviewing their quotes. She shoots down the rationale: "'Denise, don't you find that, 99.9 percent of the time, the reporter has misquoted the expert being interviewed?' No, that's not what I find at all. What I find is that you said something you weren't supposed to say, you were quoted accurately, and now you want to blame the reporter." More from Poynter.
