I wonder how many in the liberal MSM have sordid backgrounds, which never get exposed, or if they did, all other "journalists" would jump to their defense, saying, what I said, that whoever they are or were does NOT invalidate their questions and articles.

"does NOT invalidate their questions and articles"

I think it does if they are writing and professing to be pro-family and secretly selling themselves as a Gay Marine Escort (that really pisses me off by the way).

Remember the Clinton White House with lots of punk staffers working there who couldn't pass national security requirements. So they worked there for years under constantly renewed temporary passes. Word was out that drug convictions were the problem for most.

The problem is conservatives are viewed as being the higher ground. Is it news that a liberal would be involved with nude photos and solicitations for sex? Not really. But it is considered unusual for a conservative to be engaged? Yes

Would this be a big issue of his press credentials and passes issued were he a conservative reporter in a democratic Whitehouse? Probably not. But since he was from an overly friendly organization with a weak background and a salacious background, then it became news.

There have been similar scandals among the liberals--David Brock comes quickly to mind, but there have been others. And forget about "journalists"--remember Barney Franks' paramour, who was running a gay call-boy service out of Franks' own house? (Franks, of course, claimed complete ignorance.)

When the liberals do it, it's "someone's personal sex life" and should be "private." Let a conservative step over that particular line, and its all-out mayhem.

I'm not condoning anything, folks, just pointing out the (more than) obvious hypocrisy in this entire sordid mess.
