Funny how THIS story is being ignored. Well, there's really nothing funny
about it.

I am disgusted with newspapers and television news groups that posture as reliable news reporting sources but have lowered their standards to the point of irresponsible entertainment. It's one thing to offer cheap entertainment as long as that is made obvious. But to report serious matters without proof is borderline criminal.

This is not a political party gambit, although both sides are quick to seize on any opportunity, no matter how sleazy or opportunistic. This is about news organizations whose standards have dropped below the acceptable level. News organizations have always gone for the scoop. Now they go for the quick and the cheap. There should be criminal malfeasance charges in some of these cases.

Not that the triggering story here is to be believed or disbelieved. The NBC version may be the truth or it may simply be their version of a gotcha scoop. All was fair in love and war. We must now include politics and news.
