Have any letter-writing campaigns really sprung up calling
for Novak's resignation?

The New York Times had their editor resign over the flak of his reporter fabricating stories, which, according to a ruling in Fox's favor, is not a crime, in fact encouraged.

When it came to light about the fabrication of the stories printed in the New York Times, the rightwingers went ballistic, calling for the resignation of someone who made stuff up.

Funny, how Nofacts is now in hot water for reporting something that was a verifiable fact!!!

Is there no calling for his resignation? I would think that the newspaper would be held accountable (if this happened under Clinton) until the resignation of the federally offending reporter came through, and the newspaper printed a full-page apology to its readers condemning the actions of the traitor.

I would think that this is more harmful to National Security than the minimal coverage of Bush / Anti-War protestors that steam Ann Coulter of Treason fame.

1. While I sympathize
I think this would be a mistake. That would make him a martyr, defending a free press (puke) against liberal thought control. We need to go after the WH types who gave him the information.

If Novak's broken the law, let the law deal with him.
