Professional jealousy in the media

I could not possibly keep track of how many professional investigative reporters know not only my e-mail address but my phone number. Not a one gave an attorney a means to reach me, with one exception—and I thought he was a stalker. After a while the voyeurism bored them. I happened to notice that your most prestigious investigative reporter does not have a credential listed on Wikipedia—such as a degree in a journalism school. The hypocrisy is what I find most outstanding.
