At the end of the movie, when pressed for comments by reporters on the Public Enquiry of Charles Van Doren, a visibly annoyed Howard Stempel remarked: “You people (meaning: the press) never want to leave the guy alone unless you leave him alone.” What can we make of his comment here?

the guy is blaming the reporters and correspondents because they are over investigating the information and are just somehow playing with his (van doren)reputation, it is right, he has lied but does he deserve all these?
