It is about time. Journalists have lived in a self created protective bubble that the media has held for all too long. Not just journalists, but their producers, editors, and media executives should be fair game for having their private lives exposed just as they do to others. Why they have enjoyed a "hands off" status is a complete mystery to me.

“What do we know about those who abuse the power entrusted to them by shilling for the left behind a phony and cowardly shield of objectivity? What should we know about their personal lives, their finances, their personal mistakes, their traffic violations, and any run-ins with the law?”

I like the way he thinks. If the salacious details of “X” persons personal life are subject to public scrutiny, then why are not the salacious details of the lives of those who do the writing or the publishing not equally subject to scrutiny?

What’s good for the goose is indeed sauce for the gander.

This is known as a shot across the bow. Breitbart already has something on them.

1. To change the narrative of effective criticism of Obama to the less flattering moments of the private lives of these individuals. 2. To intimidate and frighten others who might consider supporting a candidate not named Obama.

Really?

OK.

Let's just see how it fits.





Attention Politico:
I am a Private Citizen.
I do not support Hussein Obama.






Hey, that would make a pretty good T-shirt...

What’s needed is the Internet version of “60 Minutes” to nail the journalistic scum where they live and work. If they want to use scorched earth tactics on their political foes, then what’s sauce for the goose is good for the gander. Time to drag these pompous windbags’ private lives and secrets out into the harsh light of day. They will NOT like it. Of course, roaches don’t like sunlight either.

Not sure how much this would help the cause. The US media is rife with scofflaws. Soledad O’Brien , Campbell Brown, MIKA what’s her name,and her cohort Joe had a dead woman found in his office! Heck, Al Sharpton got people killed through his lies but he still has his own show! And no one cares.

The only good journalist is a dead journalist.
