Bernstein and Woodward, who risked it all - they don't compare to racing scribes whose johnsons shrink at the thought of doing their job
In what world are journalists of any kind still like that? Journalism in general is devoid of the Woodwards and Bernsteins, not just racing journalism. The scarcity of Watergate journalism in America is staggering.

Don't detract from the issue at hand. You and I, as racing enthusiasts, deserve better. We need someone to look out for our interests. I expect more - do you?
