That is an example of quality investigative reporting

This past Friday, in a story we've all been subjected to in some form or fashion, Tiger Woods tore out of his driveway in his Cadillac Escalade, losing control, causing the sports utility vehicle to decimate a fire hydrant and careen into a tree in his neighbor's yard. 1 golfer.While the news media has lunged into action to discover the reason for Woods's 2 AM exodus, covering the story with 24-hour reporting. I want him to explain, not just where he was going, but how he got up to a certain speed. But a fishy story, and an athlete who has been famous just as much for his fine media pruning, as his awe inspiring talent, are not enough to allow the news media to call a spade, a diamond. It may be juicy tabloid fodder to speculate on Woods running off to see a mistress, or more likely having a heated argument with his wife, leading him to lose focus on the road.

The simple truth is it's none of our business, at least not yet. When you trim away the name, at the heart this is simply a traffic accident only slightly more relevant than your traditional fender bender. The cut's on his face and the fact he may not play at his foundations Chevron World Challenge, are the meat of the story. However, he's renown for not playing in tournaments when he doesn't want to/have to. So even that doesn't have legs. At the end of the day, when you look at why, and how the industry has forsaken itself to the depths of obsolescence, it's evident in this type of story. Twenty years ago, a good reporter would have sat on this for a few weeks and saw if it had any legs. But if he could get solid concrete evidence that his wife was abusive or he was a philanderer THEN we'd get a full expose. That is an example of quality investigative reporting.

Now, however, we live in a world where we can view TMZ as a credible news source. I'm not sure it can get any lower. He doesn't have to open up about an abusive relationship, or if he cheated on his strict nutritional program this Thanksgiving. He doesn't have to because he's not legally obligated to tell us anything. After all its just a fender bender in front of his house It's not even worth a line on the AP ticker..
