I can't speak to the Messer matter. Like I said before, I think Brian Howey did very nice work on Kernan-Shepard. But, I suggest he reconsider before casting stones re investigative journalism. Look back on what little he did (along with nearly all the rest of American media) to share then Senator Obama's political (or birth, or health, or college) history with us, except to darn near drool while hearing a stump speech from the Senator (in Illinois!). Is this the same treatment our press gave the Republican VICE-Presidential nominee? Even Dennis Ryerson of the Star acknowledged Sarah Palin didn't get a fair shake. Dumpster lids were a-flyin' in Alaska, yet we never seemed to read or hear of investigations at the statehouse in Springfield or from Chicago. A local interview with an Illinois state assemblyman that served with Obama somehow couldn't take place until AFTER the election, even though the gentlemen acknowledged he'd been available for interviews during the campaign.

The election's done. Our President is our President. I think one day ALL of us will miss journalism.
