But sometimes, she admitted, it got complicated: She would make a mental note of tidbits he mentioned offhand, or gossip with him about Capitol Hill, or throw out a fact and gauge his reply.
The relationship has prompted concern in many newsrooms that Ms. Watkins’s conduct has made journalists, and particularly women, vulnerable to unfounded accusations of exchanging sex for information. And it has complicated what would otherwise be a straightforward argument for press advocates protesting the seizure of Ms. Watkins’s emails and phone records.
How an Affair Between a Reporter and a Security Aide Has Rattled Washington Media
Granted there are quite few issues one could discuss with this story, but with so much ado about ethics in journalism and the obvious criticisms from all sides about reporting truth and/or just the facts....is Watkins' behavior indicative of a new culture of journalists? or is she just a misguided youth that is being enabled by employer after employer after employer?

Are the hair fires too intense to understand the significance of what is going on here?....The Trump sound-and-light show still has ye mesmerized? The legal fall-out of this event could prove disastrous for an already flailing industry.
