Restoring Honesty and Dignity to the Press Corps

[chaumont58]

Amando has a thread in the DailyKos regarding our warm wonderful national press corps. He compares their treatment of Clinton for his 'dishonesty' to the current treatment of chimpie's lies regarding outing a covert CIA operative and lies that lead to a disasterous invasion of a sovereign nation(Iraq).

a snip regarding chimpie's crawfishing regarding Rove:

Q: Given -- given recent developments in the CIA leak case, particularly Vice President Cheney's discussions with the investigators, do you still stand by what you said several months ago, a suggestion that it might be difficult to identify anybody who leaked the agent's name?

THE PRESIDENT: That's up to -

Q: And, and, do you stand by your pledge to fire anyone found to have done so?

THE PRESIDENT: Yes. And that's up to the U.S. Attorney to find the facts.

a snip from the ever unbiased David Gergen:

"We have our own set of village rules," says David Gergen, editor at large at U.S. News & World Report, who worked for both the Reagan and Clinton White House. "Sex did not violate those rules. The deep and searing violation took place when he not only lied to the country, but co-opted his friends and lied to them. That is one on which people choke.

and what would we all be without Tweety Bird Matthews:

"ays Chris Matthews, who once was a top aide to the late Speaker of the House Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill . . . "here has to be a functional trust by reporters of the person they're covering. Clinton lies knowing that you know he's lying. It's brutal and it subjugates the person who's being lied to. I resent deeply being constantly lied to."

Of some Dem were to forget why Joementem is such a #####:

"His behavior," says Lieberman, "is so over the edge. What is troubling is the deceit, the failure to own up to it. Before this is over the truth must be told."

last but no least, David Broder:

"The judgment is harsher in Washington," says The Post's Broder. "We don't like being lied to."

Armando concludes with IOKIYAR

It really is ok, if you are republican
