Veteran reporters are educated and experienced. Young reporters think they're educated and the smartest guys in the room. The older reporters know the importance of a free press, the younger reporters -- well, they don't know what they don't know. And what they don't know is so much it's pathetic.

"Each of the journalists attended the press conferences and were blunt on JFK's style and honesty."
I thought this was about the press, not more Camelot nonsense. The so called tougher press back in the day did an awful lot of covering for Kennedy's indescretions--and that was the gold standard? Please.
