Goddamn, just stop blaming the journalists, this guy is editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, he doesn't need his 15 minutes of fame. And even if you still want to believe he's making most of his 15 minutes of fame, the scoop just landed on his lap, he is doing his fucking job...

I cannot comprehend what kind of twist a mind has gone through to believe a journalist doing exactly their job is being an attention whore, bringing attention to a uniquely important scoop is the whole point of journalism.
