We only know of the sexist, racist and otherwise politically damaging things said in the old-media days if someone with [a] good memory was listening but [b] they were not clued in about old-boy network omerta...or later get an axe that needs grinding.
OK so NOW I've RTFA. At least I can claim I didn't need Ed Cone to tell some things any blogger should know.
