This is no defense of reporters. They play an access game, by and large, and, as someone said, are very much interested in being in the story. They do not report; they editorialize.

It would be kewl to have a national source that simply reports and has the resources to put things in context within the story. Of course, this would ruin the in depth pieces people do later and kill the tell all book business.
