After the Tiger Apology - Another Example of What Ails Our Media Society
Louis Lacroix, the owner of a Sears store in Berlin, Vt., with employee Caitlyn Lacroix.
The Wall Street Journal - We might actually prefer the silent Tiger Woods.First, can we all just check in to rehab for phony moral outrage? We're loading up the dented Cadillac Escalade—c'mon everyone, hop aboard. Bring the media, furious that Tiger Woods, after a lifetime of blowing them off, is blowing them off. Bring Mr. Woods, indignant that the media—after a lifetime of obsessing over the private lives of public figures—are obsessing over the private life of a public figure.And bring those cranky PGA golfers, upset that Mr. Woods is diverting attention from this weekend's scintillating Accenture Match Play championship. Right: The world was just dying to watch the Accenture Match Play championship. That extravaganza was going to dwarf the Winter Olympics.
