Last night, I read this piece in Vanity Fair about the scandal/crime involving David Letterman and an alleged extortionist. I don't know the facts of the case…and I also don't know that I (or you) have any particular right to know the facts of this case. But the article itself certainly felt to me about as sleazy as anything that Letterman or his supposed blackmailer were involved in. So I decided not to post the link even to tell you that I would not recommend taking at face value what you may find at the other end of the link.
I'm in a different mood this afternoon and maybe I'll regret it…but there it is. The whole tone of the piece makes me not believe it's giving us the true picture, just the juiciest one. Perhaps your reaction will differ.
