"On the Media"
Washington Post's
Dana Milbank: "All the reporters, even the ones on the witness stand, of course, know the lawyers for the prosecution, the defense lawyers know the judge, one of the reporters knows a member of the jury. And everybody gets together and hobnobs at lunch in between the questioning. ..."
Brooke Gladstone: "Isn't it the relationship between the politicians and the press that are on trial here? And doesn't it look like both are going to be found guilty?"
Dana Milbank: "It doesn't show anybody in a particularly favorable light. It's a lot of sort of people using and being used and misleading and obviously being deceitful, whether or not they are guilty of some criminal offense. But there's no question that people on both sides have behaved very badly." (More "OTM"
