What's up with this?

[Mythsaje]

Since when did the media start interviewing convicted felons regarding the honor and integrity of the people who had a hand in getting them busted in the first place?

I just heard a comment on Air America by G. Gordon Liddy about the "Deep Throat" issue and he was, not remarkably, critical of the man and his method of pursuing justice.

I don't think there's any doubt he was guilty of the charges. So his complaint is what--exactly? Had the informant gone to congress, as Liddy suggested, this would have changed the scenario HOW?

The fourth estate is a legitimate path to reform and justice in this country...as was intended by the Founding Fathers. It wasn't treasonous or even ill-advised to take the route he did. In his considered judgement, he did what needed to be done in the fashion he thought best to expose the lies and corruption.

Why in the hell should one of the men convicted of the crime be given the opportunity to criticize the man's methodology?

:wtf:

1. What this is about is stirring up the republicans because they're so

damn obtuse that they'll be able to find something 'redeeming' and 'patriotic' in a bunch of thugs who carried out the illegal schemes of the crackpot known as Richard Nixon.

3. Did ya like the part where they whine that Felt just wanted to make money?

Felt is what, 90? He needs money for? And seems a whole lotta Plumbers wrote a whole lotta books making a whole lotta money. And then there were all the speakers' fees, huh G. Gordon?

G. Gordon is plagued with the problem of projection. He thinks everybody is as big a crook as he is.

4. Ben Bradley asked the same question

Bradley said it's wrong for the media to interview the Watergate burglars on the issue of Mark Felt. But, our media is a giant FREAK SHOW and the Watergate burglars are FREAKS who get ratings for Big Media.

5. I guess it's ok for the media

to interview these guys. And then we have to value their input...
which would be ZERO.

7. If you're not a Republican (excuse the French)

It's hard to blame someone for telling the truth. OK, I do except national security, but this had nothing to due that.
