Scandals in the Making

A picture has surfaced, taken from a nearby apartment building. Looks like Steinberg might be on to something:

And speaking of scandals, how about this one?

• A CNN reporter was arrested Friday in Central Park with a small amount of methamphetamine in his pocket, but he avoided jail time by agreeing to undergo drug counseling and therapy.
  
  Richard Quest, 46, was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a count of possession of a controlled substance -- a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug. He was also charged with loitering; the park officially closes at 1 a.m.

Gee, a CNN reporter caught with dope breaking curfew in New York. The Tribune covers all the angles...or do they? Here's the New York Post take on the whole incident:

• CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

  Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

Well, for starters, it looks like the Tribune left out a whole bunch of info, but that's par for the course when the media is covering something a reporter may have been caught doing. Kind of like when that local guy with the fondness for nose candy was caught with the "lady" of the evening. Or another famous name was arrested numerous times for DUI and dope. Or another... well, the list goes on. Don't expect anything like fair reporting and you'll never be disappointed.
