So anyone that is riding in the car with a reporter is assumed to be having an affair.
Damn, it looks like I sure missed out on a lot of fun when I was a reporter!
I can't imagine how much my ability to do my job would have been hindered if I'd had to bring along a male coworker to every one-on-one interview. The thought of a sexual relationship with the local school superintendent or county commissioner never entered my mind because ... I was concentrating on my job.
I guess these men think every female reporter is out to get them (one way or the other), when in reality the female reporters just want to do their jobs.

This happened to me 28 years ago. I got dragged into a situation I had nothing to do with because we worked in a small group and some woman made a claim and I had literally little interaction with her as we were peers and she made some claim against our supervisor and I ended up getting something put into my file for something I had no part of.
She claimed hostile work environment, not sexual, but whatever.
No chance in hell I would let myself be alone with some lib news reporter if I was a politician. Who knows if you’ll end up with one salivating at the chance for a false rape allegation.
Libs opened Pandora’s box with this metoo garbage and the Kavanaugh situation. Actions have consequences.
This particular issue has little to do with conservative or liberal. It DOES have to do with horny people...
That is, a guy who is thinking horny all the time (and let's face it, that IS a lot of us) does have to practice some avoidance if they are married or don't want to be tempted.
That sounds old fashioned...but I can promise that human nature has not changed. Take a bunch of 20-40 year old guys and put them alone with women in situations X amounts of times and something untoward will happen.
It will.
We had a friend who was in a top marketing job at a well known company in New England. We also had a person at said company we dealt with who was a female...and we looked up to her because she was amazing effective and accomplished. These are two of the ultimate professionals. Both married.
Said company sent them both on the road numerous times on "tours" to intro new products and the like.....
Well, guess what? The have been married for 15+ years now.
I can honestly say that if I was sent on long road trips with said female I might be married to her also.....
Oh, well, maybe not PC but the truth in some situations.
Of course, this stuff happens anyway...but a dude who wants to make certain they stay married is not going to expose himself continually to prospective mates of the opposite sex alone.
I would certainly not worry about having a meal or a short hike or bike with said....or attending a company function or picnic. But hitting the road for days on end in the same vehicle? Not gonna happen.
Heck, a lot of the guys I know won't even take a motel room with another guy...not for any sexual reason, but simply that many people (like myself) desire to be alone most of the time. That's not fault...even for a politician.
Foster's exceptionally good looks and his astonishing charisma must cause women to fall back to their prehistoric urges, because they scent a true man when they see one! Please.
He needs to join the 21st century. This notion that men should not share a meal or interview with any women but their wives or female relatives sounds... kinda like the men of that religion that repubs despise so much that they're lobbing bombs at them.
What straight man would impose this on themselves? It sounds like they think about sex and guilt from it wayyyyyy more than people who really don't give two F's. Men with this mentality are why women can't succeed in the workplace.
You would have to be really pathetic if you simply couldn't be alone with another individual to 'avoid' something. At the least it suggests that there is limited trust in the relationship. It also suggests an unhealthy view that all male-female relationships are, first and foremost, potential sexual encounters rather than friendships, work relationships etc.
