Why dig for a story that nobody will want to read?

Then the video hit and everyone wanted to know the 5Ws so there was a story worth digging for.

IOW, "reporters" are following instead of leading.

This is revisionist, imo. The Ray Rice story was a big, continuing sports story since February. - Inigo Sep 11, 07:35 1
- Yes, a group of people cared. But the story wasn't terribly juicy until the video came out and contradicvted pretty much every Rice and NFL account. - TWuG Sep 11, 07:38
