I prefer to use logic based on reason.
The nyt committed treason on numerous occasions during the Bush administration's terms. Prosecuting a newspaper for despicable crimes is hardly the same as shutting down a publication because the administration disagrees with it's opinion.
Yes, I've always been a bit amazed at the difference between the administration's rhetoric on national security, leaks, etc., and its actions...
For all the talk about national security, leaks of classified material and border security seem to have been singularly ignored.
“Prosecuting a newspaper for despicable crimes is hardly the same as shutting down a publication because the administration disagrees with its opinion.”
Unless one is a leftist.
If they couldn’t invoke the false moral equivalence, the left would be reduced to silence.
