What the writers did was construct a character where us the viewer had the fun of watching JR wheel and deal but the only thing they seem to come up with was JR orchestrating events or blackmailing people to further his needs. This became a little tiresome after several seasons. When you look at the series more closely JR put himself into compromising positions where another character could easily blackmail him. Even a junior journalist working at The Dallas Morning News could easily have constructed a story exposing JR Ewing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
