He's talking about journalistic integrity, not any other kind of morality. He obviously doesn't like Mass News. And I doubt he appreciates being called a leftist for no good reason.

That having been said, I think that a lot of people are contradictory on the idea of civil disobedience. When someone on the left commits some misdemeanor rather than go against their own particular beliefs, a lot of people here use the argument that "the law is the LAW," and say that there's never any justification for breaking it. Then people here applaud those on the right who do just that. They're sometimes inconsistent.

Now, I think it would be consistent to say that the law is the law and yet agree with the viability of civil disobedience, provided that anybody who participates in it still has to face the appropriate punishment. But it's hypocritical to only allow for disregard of the law when you disagree with it.

He's talking about journalistic integrity, not any other kind of morality. He's just being deceptive. He's on thread after thread arguing in favor of forcing the gay agenda on children in school and in the Boy Scouts. I think he works for some gay activist organization cuz he's here everyday arguing for immorality all day long.
