CNN senior political analyst Jeff Greenfield called Schieffer "about as straight a shooter I know...He is just the gold standard when it comes to a straight up honest reporter," Greenfield told CNSNews.com.

I heard that Schieffer went into a "purple-faced rage" when he found out about BoycottCBS.com trying to remove him from the debates... </tongue-in-cheek>

you quote Greenfield called Schieffer "about as straight a shooter I know

In Jan '88 Greenfield spoke at College of DuPage, IL. Afterwards, us junkies gathered around him for more. I made the comment that Pat Robertson had a lot of support in the area (of Wheaton College and Evangelical central).

Greefield told us Don't worry. We'll do a Swaggart on Robertson in Iowa and he won't know what hit him.

If I recall correctly, Greenfield & friends then reported on the weekend before the caucuses that Pat Robertson was caught in a sex scandal. The headlines belabored the scandal. If you turned to continued below the obits, it seems Pat Robertson Jr had been born to Pat Robertson Sr's wife of 40 years only 8 months after the wedding or something like that. That was the scandal. Prior to that scandal Robertson had been running strong. After the the headlines, his support evaporated. His followers never went to the caucuses.

That is the ethics of Greenfield.
