Robert Novak reports in todays Sun-Times that the New York Times may have gone too far: Quest to get a Republican to fight DeLay may have crossed a line.
This line, the one between impartial observer to biased participant, was crossed long ago by many of the Fourth Estate. Their distorted Liberal views and the mindset that goes along with it, has long been known to us on the Conservative side.
How do we know? Look at any "hot" political topic. For example, in the 2000 election, President Bush's service in the Guard was brought up, gone through and dropped as nothing important. In 2004, instead of staying dead, it was brought up again and again, this time with manufactured documents that was detrimental to the President. Every time something was discovered that hurt the President, it was loudly proclaimed on page 1. If anything that was supportive of the President was published at all, it was way back in the paper.
If lawyers violate the canons of their profession, they are soundly thrashed and disbarred. When (not if) reporters violate their objectivity, they are proclaimed as heroes from the rooftops.
Novak is merely reporting that the Emperor has no clothes.
