Your post totally reminds me of an interview that actor Benicio del Toro did with Sonny Bunch (which the the former walked completely out of, flustered) for the Washington Times.

My personal take-away from the article:

“We can’t cover it all,” Mr. del Toro said. “You can make your own movie. You know? You can make your own movie. And let’s see. Do the research.”

That’s how I’d relate to the furor over the Seligson article. It’s a journalist’s job to poke holes, ask the tough questions, and bore down deep for something resembling the truth. Or at least that’s how it operates in theory…

I always fall back on something my daddy taught me: “Oh yeah? And what have you done?”

Full court press, Jack. All in the interests of sports, ‘natch. Nothing a Yale boy wouldn’t understand, mind you…
