Media double talks on its own.

The thing I hate the most about the print and broadcast media is the hyposcrisy.
The incestuous nature of the business, I can somewhat tolerate. They can ball bust anybody they want, but when it's one of their own, they shut up quick.
Example, Dan Bernstein can make fun of Ron Santo all day long, making no leg, one leg jokes, but let a caller try and get on the air as Ed O'Bradovich's dead wife and that's not acceptable? Or take the case of the Sun-Times. Neil Steinberg can rag all day and for many years on Baghdad Bob Greene because he slept with college coeds. And the press had a field day with him. Bob lost his job, his wife died and Neil was right there to pound in some nails. Then Neil goes and beats up his wife and what do the papers say? One article in the competing paper three days after it happens and nothing since. I've been following the little quips the Sun-Times puts in when a columnist isn't writing that day. It is getting comical to see what they will come up with next. First it was "Neil is not writing his column today". Then it was Neil is taking the day off. They can dig and dig and dig into George Ryan or Rod Blagojevich, but it's hands off on Neil Steinberg. Where is Steve Warmbir when the public needs him?
