I'm going to hate myself for even wading into this, but... Mark, the NY Times was doing exactly what I would hope the press is supposed to do. It is showing us how cozy the regulated (one of them, anyway) and the regulator are. Whether the head of the FRA and a powerful figure in the industry are vacationing together is more than idle gossip. Try this: What if you learned, before the election, that the chief NYT politics reporter had spent the entire summer windsurfing with John Kerry? There is no proof, as you seem to require, that they ever sat down to discuss how to make Kerry look good. But would you have any faith that the reporter was doing his job responsibly? Or how about a fire inspector going around to a hotel that seems to have a number of exits blocked, and she wants to talk to the manager about it. The manager says he has a $320,000 a year job he needs to fill, and the inspector looks like just the candidate. You don't find that a little unsettling? The Times' reporter has picked an odd field in which to work, in some respects. And it is always fun to beat up on the Times or the liberal media. But Sunday's piece was interesting and important.
