Reply #7: Morality aside, that's just hideously bad journalism [View All]

[PurityOfEssence]

By the definition of what is a story, that which elicits the greatest response, strays from the norm in a provocative way and literally stops a formal event cold with a collective gasp IS A STORY. Regardless of his chances or any other qualifier of his "worth", his deliberate accusations against the guilty, immoral Koppel and the complicit press, and his pointed accusation of the Bush Administrations attempt to control Iraq's Oil were electrifying. These were veritable bombs being thrown, and they were done with control, mastery and directness.

That was simply THE story of the night. Not to mention this at all is a lie against the essence of journalism.

I guess it somehow wasn't "fit to print".

Damn that liberal media.
