<<Was there anything there that interested you?>>

What interested me was the following paragraph:

"When reporters who write stories, then go on the air to discuss" them, said Lucy Dalglish, executive director for the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, "things tend to escalate. . . . If their appearances are going to be used to craft evidence of malice and reckless disregard for the truth in a print story, we're in very dangerous territory. I think this will have very serious implications for journalists."

If a TV appearance is now to be used to, quote, "craft evidence of malice and reckless disregard for the truth in a print story", then, IMO it is damn well high time. Dangerous territory indeed. So-called journalists who exhibit that particular failing should be brought to account regardless of the means used to do so. Lucy Dalglish notwithstanding.
