He is right. The media has not been acting like the media that we've grown accustomed to.
We are not suggesting a "gotcha" media.
We are not calling for a media that slices every presidential word and ridicules every mistake.
What we want is a media that will ask a few questions.
Mr Benedetto has it right:
"This is all well and good, as long as we do not forget our function as government watchdog.
So far, we have."
