Fun fact: Theo Baker, the student journalist for the Stanford Daily who broke (and continues to break) major portions of this Marc Tessier-Lavigne scandal, is the son of Peter Baker, chief White House correspondent for the NY Times.
And his mom is Susan Glasser, who was assistant managing editor at The Washington Post, the editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine, the founding editor of Politico Magazine, and a global affairs analyst for CNN.
Wonder if this is a case of journalism in the blood, or having media connections others don’t have (probably both).
The answer to “is it nature or nurture?” is almost always “both.”
Good point, I too have came to the same conclusion after observing both parties around me.
