Why hasn't NOVAK been fired?
Why the hell hasn't Novak been fired from the Sun Times or from doing any TV shows?

If it were someone from the Democratic party that would be fighting a jail term right now but Novak skates on water and comes out squeaky clean.

I can't stand to see the UGLY slob on TV or read his columns in the newspaper.

Is he going to be fired or did he do a good deed and was paid a heavy price for what he has done.

I hate NOVAKULA!

1. He is squatting under the first amdendment
Though I doubt he would be as charitable to a Dem in the same situation, I am loathe to see him denied those protections, lest we need them later.

4. He works for Chicago Tribune and CNN
They are both official propaganda outlets for the Junta.

They are thrilled that Novak helped attack one of Smirk's detractors.

And they get lots of free publicity for "standing on principle" by not revealing sources, thereby adding to the fake patina that they are both actual news sources and actually employ journalists. Many people actually believe both fictions.

:shrug:

6. His column is in the Chicago Sun Times
My Dad use to work for the Sun Times when they were a Democratic paper and he comments on Novak because he hates him just as much as I do.

7. Things are going to get interesting
Federal judge Jackson has ordered several reporters to hand over their sources in the Lee case.

If he is successful, the precedent can be used against No-Facts.

If the administration stonewalls an investigation and refuses to name names, a court case started by Wilson can have No-Facts compelled to hand over his source.

8. Will Novak go to prison is he doesn't hand them over?
I would love to see Novak in Joliet Prison.
