Former baseball player Lenny "Dude" Dykstra has become a seemingly endless fount of stories for sports reporters who cover scandal. He's been arrested for grand theft auto and drug possession, declared bankruptcy, and been accused of bouncing a check to a prostitute. Philadelphia sports writer Frank Fitzpatrick has been covering Dykstra since before his fall from grace, and he talks to Bob about how sports writers can be complicit in the bad behavior of the athletes they cover.

The post above should read as follows:
Country music journalists traditionally have been complicit in the bad behavior of the entertainers they cover.
Historically, this stems from the Country Music Association's teaming with publicists, when necessary, to put a stranglehold (in the form of denying access) on those of us who simply hold a mirror to what we observe. In turn, we are subject to having invitations withheld and credentials denied when others don't like the reflection.
