Privacy of the Spine

When the news media is feeding in a frenzy, their brains apparently cease to function. These young news people don't remember times when loose lips sank ships. The scary part; when told of it, they still want their story, consequences be damned. Privacy IS a right, but safety is a right, too, and the safety of us all depends on the reasonableness of us all to ask what CAN be answered, and learn patience when it is inappropriate to ask.

Dear news media, wake up and stop being childish. You don't deserve to have every whimsical question answered. If you have brains, try using them. The rest of us would appreciate your willingness to protect the security of us all, instead of whining and spilling every bit of news you can wheedle out of someone with polital pressure. Get some spine and think about the consequence of the questions that you ask.
