That reminds me of Bernie Goldberg’s account of Fidel Castro stopping by CBS News’ headquarters in New York a number of years back. Dan Rather was there to greet him and basically fawned over Fidel like a long lost relative, giving him a souvenir baseball bat. Really disturbing portrait that Goldberg painted in that book about Rather and his antics of that nature, not just DNCBS’ bias.
I'd really like to know exactly what squishy-Left journalists think they are going to get out of coddling the Hard Left. Lifetime pensions for their loyalty? Free heath care for life? Unlimited access to child prostitutes (a popular option with UN peacekeepers)?
There must be something they think they are going to win from constantly sucking up to dictators and radicals. Because in the short run, they could probably make more money sucking up to JP Morgan and Monsanto. :)
