CBS's Lesley Stahl proclaimed on Thursday's Hardball that she admires Mark Felt "as a big hero, and I just, I know that he's a very old man and he's had some strokes, I hope he really understands what a great service he did." Chris Matthews chipped in: "I agree with you." Stahl pointed out how Felt thought those in the Nixon White House "were like Nazis. That was in his own mind. So if he knows that he cleaned out that corruption, he shouldn't be called a 'traitor' by anybody, and he certainly shouldn't feel like one."

(Stahl's reference to Felt being called a "traitor" may be a pick up of a false quote attributed to Pat Buchanan)

I won't take seriously anything the MSM say... well I don't take anything they say seriously... but I digress. I will respect them even less on the Deep Throat/Mark Felt matter until they come to terms with how shabbily they treated Linda Tripp.

newspaper's should come with a daily correction: "we're sorry for pulling yesterday's stories out of our as*es"

of course it would be in the tinyiest of fonts in the middle of a section no one actually reads

.....Feltgate.....what was Felt's religious denominational claim while in "Hoover's OLD FBI"...?

....it wasn't JEWISH or non-denominational!

....was it....Mormon?

This isn't the first time that Chris Matthews incorretly latches onto words. He did this with Michelle Malkins during the 2004 elections.

So CBS got their story wrong? Now there's a shocker. /sarcasm

[Logical me]

Felt is a traitor. He is so because it was his responsibility to bring the information up the chair of command. Instead he betrayed his oath of office and went outside. This cowardly act did not allow the Administration to conduct it's own investigation. This is the proper way we in America do. If there was a cover up, they do what you may.

Last year, I changed my TV remotes to skip over ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN, etc. They're so completely unreliable and biased against all things conservative (the old meaning of "liberal", by the way). I only watch FOX News.

Nixon got us out of a mess in Vietnam instigated by Kennedy and pushed along by Johnson, but he was vilifiled by the MSM and the hippie/anit-war/liberal movement for not ending the war quick enough.

Watergate was a second-rate political operation, no different than the crap that goes on now. Nixon should have held his ground, and now that he's dead, the MSM is dancing on his grave.

Pitiful.

You may have seen this already; MSM lies about Buchanan calling Felt a traitor.

[pcottraux]

Buchannan didn't say that Mark Felt was a "TRAITOR," just that he was a "Jewish Nazi part of the right-winged conspiracy to destroy American culture."

[umgud]

It's the seriesness of what they thought (assumed) he said that matters more than what he really said.

[realman]

Pat Buchanan is a good man,that's why they hate him.

[Tribune7]

Guess maybe now Lesley Stahl will express gratitude for the presidency of Ronald Reagan since the Gipper pardoned Felt for performing illegal wiretaps unrelated to Watergate.

[uncbob]

Yeah I hope this guy likes all the mass deaths in Vietnam he cause by bringing the Nixon administration down over nothing

[Ann Archy]

Speaking of Nazis....someone today said Felt looked liked a Nazi bigwig that got away with something.

[Malesherbes]

Rush had it right when he said that this whole commotion in the MSM is simply "Dinosaurs celebrating the Jurassic age."

[Brimack34]

The MSM reminds me of the movie "One Flew over the koo koo nest" Bring out the straight jackets.

Woodward said Felt was very concerned for security. With that in mind, how could Felt acting alone have monitored the pot on Woodwards balcony and intercepted Woodwards morning delivery of The New York Times? If he was so concerned about security, he had to assume that not only he but also Woodward and Berstein were under surveillance. By regularly checking on the location of Woodwards flower pot and intercepting Woodwards morning NYT delivery, Felt would have been at major risk of being spotted and connected to Woodward and Bernstein.
