Unless your a professional communicator, talking to media is always dangerous. They can totally change what you say using “editing”, and loaded question can quickly trap you. There is a reason why there is so many job in communication and media assistant, you don’t want to let people talk unsupervised
Honestly, if only a sub reddit keeps a political movement alive, it isn’t a political movement
To expand on the point about editing for anyone who assumes that is only means taking things out of context, editing can also be rearranging the order of communication to change the meaning as well as introducing context prior to the interaction that changes the meaning.

This is probably the real reason why politicians never actually say “yes” or “no”! Haha

Wtf is a “professional communicator”? How do you think you get there?
They just needed someone who wasn’t really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch’s interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.
Not everyone is born a speech-giving savant. There are TEAMS of people that train you for it. Or at least there are if they want you to succeed. Ever notice how many times someone that’s new to the limelight is kinda awkward but over time they get better at it? They have trainers.
Remember that

Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he’s very good at it.

You say that as if it’s a bad thing. Isn’t training how you become a professional in any given field?
It’s not a job description, it’s a skillset. Any public face would want it.
