Alec Baldwin is played the part of an alcoholic journalist with questionable ethics on Law & Order: SVU, which is the very type of journalist he claimed to hate.

The episode titled "Criminal Stories" features Baldwin playing a journalist of questionable ethics able to sway opinion in New York City with a single article -- Baldwin's idea of how the media works, in other words. The episode was directed by SVU star Mariska Hargitay and aired Wednesday night.
