Once again, the myth of an unassailable Pataki rears its head, this time in The Observer. Again, we have the storyline of reporters asking Pataki "we have reports of a scandal," Pataki saying "no, you don't," and the reporters saying, "gee, I guess we don't." This is how the beat reporters attempt to cover scandal, and it makes them appear incompetent. If you have a claim of scandal that can be confirmed by public records, you go and get those public records and slap them on the front page, regardless of what the accused says. No major political scandal was ever discovered by the individual in question actuall offering the information. Come on guys, grow up and do your jobs right.
