> "I'm just shocked they don't want more coverage of these things and not less."

I'm having real trouble parsing this, can anyone break down the double-negative for me? Or does it simply not make sense?

If you leave off the "and not less" it's more readable and you get the point
Why would they want less coverage not more?
they should want: more coverage, and not less [coverage]

they will be getting (due to this measure): less coverage, and not more

so it sounds like they don't want more coverage (and not less coverage), which is shocking
