Wow. Schieffer is dangerously close to practicing journalism here. Maybe some of the old guard will remember what their role is and rake these lying toadies over the coals.

We can only hope. I went to journalism school in the mid 80’s. All they DID was IDOLIZE Woodward and Bernstein ...pounded it into our heads how we are to NEVER reveal our sources ...how the First Amendment was the “watchdog” of Democracy ...I mean, they really DID use to teach this stuff. I just don’t know what happened in the ensuing years to journalism.

These guys would be seen as GIANTS if they actually started to step up. Why they don’t want to be remembered that way, and not as lying, covering hacks ...I have no idea. For the most part, journalists used to run on coffee, cigarettes, and idealism ... it’ just not that way anymore.
