Van Breda Kolff's enthusiasm has cost him 24 technical fouls...
...guard against such abuses, the networks sent out memos after last summer's riots ordering reporters to "tell it like it is." As for the charge of overexposure of the black militants, CBS News President Richard Salant says: "Our test is not whether we approve of the event or agree with the individual, but whether it is legitimate news."
