the defense seems to be the republicans are trying to politicize a crime...if obama got caught killing a baby it would be defended as “political”

Bingo! The unhealthy alliance that exists between the top staff at the whitehouse and the media powerheads is the story. It’s a classic RICO case if there ever was one.

Throw in the fact that the wire services in general and the Associated Press in particular constitute continual virtual meetings of people of the same trade - journalism in this case - and the effect of that is precisely as Adam Smith projected:

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

A RICO antitrust suit is required. The conceit that journalism is objective is not germane to the First Amendment, and there is no reason in law or morality or philosophy which requires us to make that assumption. To the contrary, any law (i.e., “campaign finance reform”) which is nonsensical without the assumption of journalistic objectivity is nonsensical indeed, for the criterion of “time will show” says that journalism is NOT objective.

Keep saying it all you want, it’s still BS and lies. And more and more people know that. These days, thank God, we have alternative sources of information.
