Meet the Reporter
Meet Peter Zuckerman, the Idaho Falls POST REGISTER reporter who led the investigation of the Boy Scouts of America. In an interview with EXPOSÉ, Zuckerman says of his experience:
It was scary and exhilarating at the same time ... I used to think reporters aren't part of the story. That's how it should be. It isn't. By just doing your job, some people will love you, some people will hate you, and some people will drag you in and make you part of the news.

Comments
I was greatly put off by the "gee, aren't I amazing" air this whole series puts on. A free press is fundamental to our society, but what ever happened to reporting the facts? All the interviews with the reporters seem to boil down to getting the goods on someone, whether or not the goods are real, and making them as lurid as possible. I know,"if it bleeds, it leads," but not all stories have a villain. You seem really self-righteous and a bit pompous. Sorry, I'm not impressed.
