The media is so hot with the accident. Can't understand why.
No, my question should be: Who let the reporters know of all these?
Was it the victim - or, really, her friends and family?
No, it shouldn't be. Otherwise their opinion would fill up the morning paper. Now, it's all facts and cut-and-dry information - with a whole lot of details indeed. It must be from our own man.
Alas, of course it was him. The initial report certainly went to him; he considered the whole thing important, and the media need to be notified.
But, why this time? There were many other incidents previously that he did not make public. Does he have a hidden agenda ?
I couldn't think of any.

(Supplementary notes a few days later.)
I was blind.
He did it not for any benefit; he merely wanted to protect himself.
He is running for that highest position, and could not afford being accused by his adversary (or members of the selecting board) to cover things up.
I call it a collateral damage.
PS. As always, if you believe you understand what Mr. Greenspan says, you are definitely mistaken.
