You are right. Criminality there is exposed under the flood lights! It is not like in the other countries where it is never shown. You know, the political correctedness thing. Case in point intoday's news: They are never caught with money bags, only with pecadillos: <<The New York Times said Spitzer was caught on a federal wiretap arranging to meet a prostitute at a Washington hotel last month.

Dina McGreevey, the ex-wife of former New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey who resigned in 2004 over a gay affair with a man whom he hired, said Spitzer should start by resigning.>> It is always caucht with a lady on the side or a gay guy,.

What value has, in terms of information content, the reading of the last adventure of Alain Delon’s son or Princess Stephanie? Neither I believe informational content can be evaluated by counting volume of printed material. What about the thousands of small town news papers dedicated to local readership which has no material of interest farther than 50 Km away?
