What difference does it make? I have lots of relatives. What they do for a living certainly doesn’t affect my judgment. This smear on Levin is just way over the top. It is beginning to look like anyone who dares to criticize THE ONE gets investigated and smeared.

Do we want a person like the person who is trying to either blackmail or smear Mark Levin running the Justice department or the IRS?

Mark Levin is a great American. The people who would smear him? Not so much IMHO.

Exactly what are they supposed to be smearing or blackmailing Levin with? Is it the simple fact that his fiance's son is a senate staffer for Cruz?

Have I missed something? Levin seems to be making this out to be an uncovering of a deep dark family secret.

This is not a smear. This is simple professional expectation. The same way they expect a minister to give a fair explanation of a controversial doctrine, or the way they expect a lawyer to give a fair nod to differences of opinion about arcane law, they expect fair disclosure from a broadcaster when he has a personal interest in an outcome.

It’s not much to ask.

“Hi, I’m Mark Levin. My fiancée’s son is a part of the Cruz campaign. Take that into account when I give you my opinion on others. I don’t think I’m unfairly influenced, but you need to know it.”

How is that bad?
