I am not sure what the big deal is. So he doesn't want to be recorded, or taped. This does not violate free speech as he is the one doing the talking and should be able to choose if he wants his speeches recorded. I think denying someone access to media is a violation of free speech, not denying the media access to his speech. Is it freedom of speech or freedom of the press to do what they want? The press can still say what they want, they just will not be able to back up what they say as absolute truth. Doesn't the man have the right to privacy?
