Nothing is off the record, not even silence. The media expects, and especially with the competitive pressures they're under these days, will insist upon, immediate accountability. From two or three of the seamiest stories around currently, to anything that gets the media’s, and thereby the public’s, hackles up – nobody’s ever off-the-record. Act accordingly.

Those grungy stories? Of course, they’ve been about Uber, Bill Cosby and Jonathan Gruber, even the New York City Police Department.
