Exposing Shriver

Maria Shriver, in her special “Total Exposure: Privacy and the Press” (NBC, Oct. 8), damaged her credibility as a genuine journalist. She not only exploited a 10-year-old rape victim, she reveled in the very same thing she was denouncing. Being a Kennedy and the wife of a famous star, as she stressed up front, does not make her brand of exploitation any less palatable.
