		<description><![CDATA[In the old days before reporters got holy—at least in their collective minds—freeloading was a perk of journalism. Tickets to sporting events, rock concerts, theme parks, free drinks and meals were accepted without a second thought given to the impropiety of sponging off politicians and other people we wrote about.

		<description><![CDATA[On May 1st, I watched the annual White House Correspondents dinner and squirmed. It reminded me of the sense of self-importance that invades the pysches of most reporters—especially the Washington press corps. New York Times op-ed columnist Frank Rich wrote about the dinner this week. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/opinion/09rich.html
Rich doesn&#8217;t dwell on the why of such events. But I have to wonder about the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inside journalism circles there is much weeping, wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth over the National Enquirer&#8217;s Pulitzer Prize nomination for an exposé of John Edward&#8217;s loose zipper. As someone who built an investigative reporter career based on journalism prizes, I say, &#8220;Who gives a flying&#8230;whatever?&#8221;
I evolved over 30 years of muckraking from reporter [...]]]></description>

Long, Ross Perot and the Ku Klux Klan. That will have to be Monday&#8217;s topic.  
My wife, Annette, points out that I failed to answer a question raised in [...]]]></description>

Also charged were three of O&#8217;Keefe&#8217;s pals, including the son of the acting U.S. Attorney for [...]]]></description>
