Since when is it the job of reporters and pundits to set any kind of "example" for the rest of the country? It's their job to tell stories that inform and move us, not morally instruct us. Mind you, I don't think they do the whole informing-and-moving thing very well -- I'd like to see much less self-congratulation and rehashing where ANY subject is concerned -- but this IS a big fucking deal and I don't see anything wrong with spending some time looking at that. I just wish more people were taking Jay Smooth (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYsRwHexkpE)'s tack on it. Acknowledge the moment, but take it as an opportunity to discuss what remains to be done.
