Surely there is a good-hearted conservative lawyer who would assist Gardner in suing the pants off of Kerry and that odious "historian" Brinkley.
My dream is to see the day that the FederalCommunicationsPropaganda Commission is sued for allowing and promoting the fraudulent use by its licensees of The New York Times as a standard of objectivity.They have no choice but to do it, of course - otherwise they would have to admit that the entire reason d' etre of broadcast journalism is a fraud.
Newspapers (such as the NYT) are necessessarily protected by the First Amendment, meaning that they cannot be sued for being wrong, or for omitting an important truth. Broadcasters, being licensed as the Constitution does not permit newspapers to be licensed, have no real First Amendment protection and consequently must put up a false front of objectivity. Since that is already the commercial posture of the NYT, it is natural that the two would find it important to go along and get along with each other.
Only the false front of objectivity motivates the unanimity of the broadcasters, subverted only at the margins by talk radio and the Fox News Channel. Only the unanimity of the broadcasters made the Kerry campaign appear respectable in the face of truth telling by most of Kerry's comrades and superiors. Without that, the absurdity of the nomination of a hero of the enemy to be Commander-in-Chief would have been patent.
uhh, what would he sue Kerry for?
Did you use the words "good hearted" and "lawyer" in the same sentence?
