That road travels both ways. You're replying to my opinion of the situation. I found your arguments to be unpersuasive. I gave my explanation of why I found them to be unpersuasive. Your argument is that Talese' stature as a writer gives him the upper hand in his moral choices. I disagree. People's status, education, wealth, etc., don't give them the upper hand in making better moral choices. Talese made some questionable moral choices in this situation. Hiding those choices behind a cloak of journalistic integrity doesn't change that.You don't want there to be a distinction, so you're refusing to see it. That's fine. But it makes this discussion pointless.
