Reasoning

This is a concern about media representation-a statement expressing worry that journalist comments may be misrepresented. While CONCEALMENT_SIGNALS baseline is 0.3-0.5, this is defensive communication during an active media inquiry, not coaching for secrecy or record destruction. The underlying motivation is reputational defense during a harassment allegation response, not concealment of trafficking activity. Moderate confidence reflects the fact that concern about media representation is common in rebuttal contexts.
