Let me be clear.

I don't care what the media says about it.

Not even a little bit.

And my interest in the issue has nothing to do with what the media says about it. And my view of what anyone says - the players, I mean - is based upon what THEY have said, not what the media says about what they have said.

My interest in the issue is that our officials should not be giving information to reporters - whether it be in the form of explicit leaks, hints, confirmations, or non-denials - when reporters aren't supposed to have that information. Period. And I am a bit disgusted that the vast majority of conservatives are acting like it is okay because Wilson is a slimebag. It doesn't matter why- it should not be done.

Well, I can agree with you on this.

I suppose what I can't agree with you on is that we can safely ignore what the media says, because that can have real-world disastrous consequences in all kinds of ways.
