Rolling Stone McChrystal Profile: The End of Fly-on-the-Wall Reporting?

politicsdaily.com

It may be years before another top U.S. official or major political candidate allows a reporter to practice fly-on-the-wall journalism. (Rolling Stone also deserves plaudits for paying for this increasingly rare full-immersion reporting.) You can just hear the scorn dripping from some junior press secretary's voice as he says: "You want to spend a day with the senator? Get real. That kind of thing cost McChrystal his job. All we're offering you is 10 minutes in the car."

I bet reporters admire this guy but at the same time hate his guts. He made their job damn near impossible.
