When Radio Becomes Part of the News

The Herman Cain sexual harrassment story has been in the news lately, but yesterday one person in radio inserted himself into the story. A talk show host in Iowa said that Cain was inappropriate to his female staffers when Cain appeared on his show.

He's a conservative talk show host, by the way. I looked it up because I was wondering. Does it make me cynical that I now check on the political affiliation of people in the news before deciding whether or not they have ulterior motives?
