When it was reported February 17 in the NH Union Leader that NH Governor John Lynch's daughter, Jacqueline, had been arrested for alcohol violations for the second time in a handful of months, many reporters noted that they did not want to give inordinate publicity to the problem.

Giving inordinate attention to a story involving a politician's offspring, and looking closely at the story to see where the politicians might be slightly hypocritical, are two very different things. This segment from "Against the Grain" draws the distinction, and focusses on how the NH media is far too willing to let John Lynch escape any close scrutiny.
