post. I was astonished (well, not really) at that Our relationship with General McCaffrey is based on trust, a basic tenant of journalism. The "tenant" tells us something, too, but that idea of trust is, as you rightly note, a laughably pathetic "understanding" of what journalism is supposed to be and what journalists are supposed to do.
One last point: I do hope none of this ruins my chances of succeeding Tim Russert on Meet the Press.
You wouldn't have liked that gig anyway. As I understand it, you have to bring mounds and mounds of clippings from the likes of Broder and Brooks and interview personages such as Brokaw who, in return for being so favored, would drone on and on about the greatest generation.
