there was no doubt that gary hart s downfall changed the game of politics and the press. the only question left was by how much. it was that moment at which we went from being willing accomplices to a politician s indiscretions to being the vultures of their indiscretions who would chew it up, spit it out, chew it up, spit it out until we finally arrived at where we are today. when you have wall-to-wall coverage of every single stupid thing that anyone in authority ever does or says. we really did shift our focus away from world views and ideas. and toward this hunt for character flaw. it s about predatory journalism that says you re lying about something, and all we have to figure out what it is and that will be the end of you.
