Yea so he met him previously and was an acquintance--many many many many more did too.
The "scoop" of his lifetime ---- and he was set for life, just what every "anchorman" dreams of.
The show made it clear of his agenda, his emotions didn't figure in--and wouldn't if he had never met him.
The ONLY thing that mattered to him --them is that HE Was FIRST.
