I remember when this Colorado politician, Gary Hart, stupidly challenged the press while he was in the beginnings of a run for POTUS. Ine guy took him up on it and followed him around for weeks, finally getting a series of photos of him out on a yacht with a mistress. That was the end of him.

Hart was otherwise probably the most qualified. Compared to Mondale, Teddy Kennedy, etc. Hart was more of an independent thinker.

The press were of course vermin, then and now, with a few exceptions such as BW.
