In other words, "real" journalists are upset because the White House doesn't approve only raving leftwing lying freaks. Well-put.
It reminds me of the evolution/anything-else controversy. We're told that all scientists believe in evolution. Later, we learn that this is because anyone who doesn't believe in evolution is eo ipso disqualified from being a scientist.
Neat little circle.

In other words, "real" journalists are upset because the White House doesn't approve only raving leftwing lying freaks. On Fox News this morning:
The Boulder Faculty Assembly (search), a group representing professors at the campus, called Ward Churchill's (search) comments "controversial, offensive, and odious," but also expressed support for his right to express them. "The lifeblood of any strong university is its diversity of ideas which allows for the environment necessary to educate and train young learners and advance the boundaries of knowledge," said a statement released Tuesday by university spokesman Peter Caughey. "Debate is a fundamental characteristic of a university."
So free speech should be tolerated if it compares WTC victims to Nazis, but suppressed if it dares mention ID in the Smithsonian. BTW, is it amazing or what that all of a sudden a reporter's "credentials" become important?
