Where is the grandma?...

19. It was an ethics disaster

but not necessarily Illegal. Both CNN and MSNBC have been taken apart over it.

One of the problems is... having been in media scrums, the pressure is there to "scoop" each other. A radio guy, or me, have the time to use editorial discretion. the we need to do it NOW types... at times forget about that, and should have been at the very least on a minute delay.

Me... I think I would have had an issue going in. but I know that legally they were invited by the landlord, which gets into the permissions and rights of tenants vs rights of renters And it was left there by the FBI not to be rifled with, but for her to come home and get her stuff and find it.

They also left a list of stuff they took.

This should be in every journalism class as to the at times something might be legal, but not necessarily ethical. Just because you can, does not mean you should. And I think they are in the clear legally. Hubby thinks it is a tad shadier because of the grandmother. Under CA law, 30 days as resident, even if you are not in the lease... you have the rights of a renter. But if anybody opened a whoop ass of liability is the property owner.
