A college newspaper would have ejected her but on NBC she continues saying on in March 12th 2007, erroneously that polls show that most Americans want to see Lewis Libby pardoned. However, the most recent poll taken by CNN at the time showed that only 18% favored a pardon. The first rule of journalism it to get the facts straight the first rule of corporate journalism is say what the boss wants to hear and damn the impropriety.

This administration has made it clear in word and deed that they will reward their friends and seek to punish those perceived as enemies. From breaking the tradition of letting the most senior correspondent sits in the front row and ask the first question at press conferences. To repeated exclusive appearances on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News and other partisan media outlets even made up ones giving press credentials to a male escort with a pornographic web site, the administration seeks to make it a smaller world still. Ignoring one of the founding principles of our government that honest information about that government is the right of the people to know and should be delivered to us not only without impropriety but also even a speck of the appearance of impropriety.

I worked for a private company that had as it’s policy that employees could not be married or work in the same departments. The reasons are obvious to any thinking person to avoid conflict of interests. Game show and contests are not open to family members for the same obvious reasons yet our government and media expect you to believe it’s just a small world after all.

Who was working the Fox news political desk on election night 2000? Why it was Jim Ellis George Bush’s first cousin, damn, it’s a small world.
