(21,657 posts)I can't imagine any responsible agency not reviewing something before making it public.
I did see another example of this in politics. I don't remember the year, but Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg decided to run for Senator from NY. NY had already seen Bobby Kennedy and Hillary Clinton do that previously and, despite her Democratic creds (or maybe because of them) there was some opposition to it.
Caroline is brilliant and capable, but she did not have the public speaking skills of her political relatives. She inserted a number of "ums" and "uhs" when speaking to a group of supporters. Every single one was included in reports of her speech. Despite good segments where she delivered well, the only parts picked up and played in the media were the sections with ums and uhs.

I met GS when I lived in Georgetown and he came off as self important and egotistical. I can see nothing has changed. Not a good look here either, George. What a disappointment you are.
