Quote:"Yes, let's see how many more Armstrongs there are, but let's not ignore, say, Jesse Jackson, a syndicated columnist who had a TV show on CNN and now has one on cable. Jackson and his organizations have taken millions from Democratic administrations over the years, eliciting little more than yawns from the press. Of course, if Williams had disclosed fully his relationship with the White House, there'd be no scandal. Which does partially illuminate the irony of Paul Begala righteously grilling Williams on "Crossfire," even though Begala had remained on air as a TV host while he served as a Kerry campaign advisor.

I always love the "everybody's doing it" response. It reminds me of when I was a kid. I guess some of us grew up.

I think the point is that those on the left are doing it and you don't here so much as a peep about it in the media. Someone on the right does it and it's tatamount to treason.

Just for the record, I don't listen to Williams. I don't read Williams. I don't really KNOW Williams. I am just pointing out the sheer hypocrisy. With what has come to light, I see:

Liberals:

Williams

Conservatives:

Begala
Rather
Jackson


If this were a game.....you'd be losing.

Aww c'mon. You guys think Rush and Hannity are real journalists. Let's get real here. For the record, I did not listen to Williams either.

I have never thought Rush or Hannity were journalists. That was my entire contention from the get-go. Williams isn't a journalist either. They are akin to edititorialists....which, as we know, are always biased towards their point of view. Ruch will tell you straight out that he is biased. The problem here was people comparing the CBS fiasco to an opinionated editorialist.

....and if you think Conservatives are against liberals doing what Armstrong did, why is it that you never hear a peep from us about Mike Malloy, Jeneane Garafalo, Al Frankin, or Peter Werbe? I certainly wouldn't expect them to support something they don't believe in.

I think everybody know they are not journalist. They are as you say more like editorialists.

Love it. :monty:
