This is really interesting.
The media is not the final say on whether a crime was committed. Neither are political operatives and bloggers. The investigators are. The Bush white house is cooperating - no crazy privilege claims that I know of.
But again it takes a lot of chutzpah to report on Rove as the media is doing, and not mention this.
The first question to ask in this context for me is whether this fact would have been widely reported if the shoe were on the other foot - a Democrat president being covered by conservative media outlets. Of course it would.
And I sure would like to know who that reporter in jail is protecting. It ain't Rove.
The Democrats placed their faces in poop again. Throw them the bait and they jump right in with the Mainstream News.
Are they misinformed or just stupid?
No; but this petition has been filed/ie Amici Brief, on behalf of twenty-eight media organizations/outlets, for determination by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
They had already filed this when they began their assault on Rove; that he had broken the law. . .a straw dog here, from the beginning.
But whatever. . .it is amazing; more to the point, it is a collective scandal of the Media for participating in the deliberate smearing of Karl Rove while attempting to undermine President Bush. . ..
And yes. . .would love to know who Miller is protecting; for sure; her source is not a Republican.
Probably protecting a 'covert agent' named Valerie. . .
