"Instead of trying to uncover the source of the Rather forgeries, i.e., the wrongdoers and accomplices to a serious fraud, the LA Slimes went after a whistle-blower who helped expose the fraud of Rather's reporting."




Of all the things the media does, this is probably the one that bothers me the most. Whether it was the SwiftVets, the leaked Judicial Memos, Buckhead...or anything that adversely effects the Dems, the media always ignores the substance of the message, and attacks the messanger.

This is in stark contrast to so-called Whistleblowers on the Left, whose message is not only believed...but the messenger him/herself becomes a national hero for exposing malfiecense. Democrats are described as consciencious Whistleblowers, while Republicans are threatened with criminal charges as their reputations and motives are attacked.

Ditto. But what bothers me even more is their success with this tactic.
