Most are two-party consent
Actually most are 1 party consent. It's a good thing too, because I used to record every interaction between my ex and I. Before doing so I spoke with attorneys and did the research myself. My ex was incredibly toxic and she used to play games with my custody rights with my oldest. Once I proved to the courts she was the one instigating the issues I was given custody.

The journalist not being in the room or present to the conversation makes 0 parties consenting and illegal everywhere. The beak on this journalist is concerning and I hope the sheriff tells him to pound dirt.
Since when can anyone secretly record others private conversation via planted bug to fish for evidence you don't yet have. That'd never be admissible in court and therefore nothing legally can be done to these sheriffs.
You can't record someone else's conversation, you can only record conversations your a party of. I was just pointing out his misinfo. Most states are not 2 party consent.
I was saying the point is moot as no parties were consenting.
