There's two sides to every story...

[kentuck]

With the exposure of the Senate Intelligence Report yesterday, we are led to believe that there are two equal sides to the story. Yes, there may be two sides to the story but they are not equal. They should not be "balanced". They should not have to be "fair" in the sense that equal weight must be given to both sides. When one sides commits such an atrocious blunder, invading another country on false pretenses, what balance do you wish to see? What is "fair"? Just give people the truth? Or pretend it is just a policy difference and neither side is right or wrong, that is just politics? Isn't that doing a great disservice to the people? What is wrong with the truth? Shouldn't the truth carry more weight than a story that is for political cover only? There should be less concern about fair and balanced and more concern about what are the "facts"?

A unjust ,illegal,unfair, war can never be balanced out.
It is a great disservice to the people to pretend it can.

2. sort of like

investigating the Watergate break-in and insisting that equal emphasis be given to the argument that burglary is ok.

3. but, for once lately, the Dems didn't turn over for yet another beating

... I saw the press conference on C-Span, and Sen. Jay Rockefeller surely held his own and gave no ground on what was what ... in fact, it seemed to me that some of Rockefeller's unvarnished comments got the usually calm-cool-collected Sen. Roberts a little rattled

... the real CRUX of the b* maladministration USE (read: ABUSE) of the "intelligence" will come in part 2, and Rockefeller really put Roberts against the wall about getting to work and finishing the 2nd report without the lame excuse of "there are only 20 legislative days left" ... WTF???? Rockefeller said that regardless of the common recess times the Senate has a history of working right through to December 22 when it was deemed necessary; and, what could be more necessary than getting to the bottom of DISintelligence and how to fix it????? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!
