I love being a reporter and I think it’s a great profession and that many reporters do invaluable work. I don’t think anyone’s going to say our proudest moments are involved with the bizarre and bizarrely thorough investigation into former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s email correspondence. But the Washington Post and New York Times — along with more overtly partisan outfits such as Mother Jones, ProPublica and msnbc.com — have teams of reporters digging through each and every one of the 13,000 emails that were released late last week.
