    i got an idea, instead of picking a non-problem ('bad' teachers), why doesn't ms brown go after 'bad' journalists ? ? ?

    seeing as how there are approximately 1-10% of 'bad' teachers (a totally made up statistic that i bet is true), versus approximately 90-99% of 'journalists' have gone 'bad', she would be better served by sticking to her own knitting...

    oh, wait, if she goes after 'bad' journalists, and chances are she's a 'bad' journalist, then who is left to go after 'bad' journalists... hmmmm...

    I like the idea given by art guerrilla I want to say that it should have been under considering the ideas and suggestions of readers.
