Vox Day's general rule is: Never talk to the Media.

This particular case appears to be the exception. What would you say your general rule on talking to the local media be? Would you say they are generally more objective than national media?

I’ve become convinced that it’s important to maintain communication with local media, because otherwise they will define you anyway. Blaine Conzatti explained that he always talks to even hostile media because that might be the only way a lot of people hear his message.

In this case, the actual reporter (Aspen Shumpert) was evenhanded in her questions, but Brian Holmes couldn’t resist his snarky commentary after the fact. Such is life.
