This is the sort of forthright investigative reporting and commentary which is desperately needed in our beleaguered society. Ironically, while the media often bears responsibility for lazily seeking sensationalism, there is nothing more gripping than to witness journalists who speak truth to power on behalf of ordinary and often vulnerable citizens. It is the reason audiences were captivated by the broadcasts of Edward R. Murrow, or the writings of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Journalistic integrity does require more work but the benefits are great, not only for the whole of present day society but for its future generations.
