Was it fair of the news media to publish and broadcast so many negative accounts of ACOG's media relations? Weren't the media there to report on the athletic events?

What will be an ideal response?


It doesn't really matter whether or not the criticism was fair. In the United
States, the media are free to report on whatever they want. The real issues are
why ACOG opened itself to criticism in the first place, and the steps it did -- or
didn't -- take to resolve problems.
