Wilson ping.
Matthews was going for the obscure absurd when he compared today's US media, to Ethiopian newspapers under Emperor Haile Selassie! And Matthews discussing the Valerie Plame leak without blaming Scooter Livvy was patently dishonest!
I think Matthews wanted to bathe himself in the reflected glory of a real journalist like Judith Miller. No doubt in my mind, Matthews would squeal like a stuck pig rather than go to jail for refusing to reveal a source.
Here's a good backgrounder on Matthews Cooper's insider status, ala his wife Clintonista Mandy Grunwald.

Thank you for your notes and I'll be sure to read the link later.
Cyncooper,
Hope you enjoyed your popcorn, and that you didn't fall asleep waiting for my reply.
If you read the entire thread, EllaMinnow wrote that they wanted to see Matthew Cooper of Time Magazine frogmarched for not cooperating with investigation into the CIA leak. I presume that Ella wanted Cooper frogmarched because Cooper is a MSM Lib. I simply pointed out that Novak was also involved with the leak, and by his logic should also be frogmarched.
I DON'T want to see Novak frogmarched.
