Why??? Because no one with any integrity would speak to a tabloid, so called "news organization" as your self. One that is only looking to report lies, and exaggerations being told by UN NAMED sources! Your station can not be trusted to report the truth, cannot be trusted not to "spin" an interview as to serve your own purpose...That is the answer to your "Why"!
It is you, Mr Pickey, that is an embarrassment to your profession!
