The problem isn't his media training, the problem is his moral compass. Treat your employees with respect just as you'd treat any human being with dignity.

Honestly, that was the weirdest moment. Plenty of people are foolish enough to try to threaten reporters, including by threatening their sources - it's a bad idea, but not exceptional.
But effectively blackmailing an employee while on a call with a reporter you've already threatened? Surely even the biggest bully should be able to see how that'll work out.
(And, of course, a PR flack could probably explain how "off the record" works, and why it should have started both conversations.)
