“I always felt, and I still feel, that the media doesn't belong in a public official's private life. It's a very difficult balance, because if you are elected to public office, people have a right to know a great deal about you, and the press has an absolute obligation to report all of that.

Maybe half of it is wrong, and half of it is correct, and a lot of it is exaggerated. You've just got to get used to that if you're in public life.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsStillsReasonRealityUsedFeltDifficultDealsHalfMediaBalanceOfficeHappeningsAbsolutesPressesObligationOfficialsReportsGossipPrivate LifeColumnsPublic LifeExaggeratedPublic OfficePublic Officials Author:Rudy Giuliani
