the media HAS to do it who else can do it? who else would?
It's their job. It's why we watch them. Not for the feel-good stories but for the down-and-dirty-get-under-their-skin-and-into-their-mind stories.
Thank goodness for reporters like Ted Koppel as he follows in the grand traditions of Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite and, one of the most important news duos ever, Woodward & Bernstein (without whom, I suspect, we might have been living under President-for-Life/Emperor Nixon). I can only hope that there are many young reporters inspired to follow in their footsteps.
