I tuned into today today, and Katie Couric was moderating one
of those canned "debates" between Alan Dershowitz and someone from the
Southeastern Legal Foundation. Basically, S.E.L.F (who has some affiliation
with Judicial Watch that i'm not quite sure of) wants Bill Clinton disbarred
because he wasn't honest in a good number of depositions and legal proceedings.
Alan Dershowitz wanted to 'expose' this representative from S.E.L.F by claiming
that he was involved in The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Out To Destroy Bill Clinton,
and that S.E.L.F was partisan.
Of course, since S.E.L.F has no real power outside the ability to recommend cases,
like Bill Clinton's get looked at, (In this case to the Arkansas Supreme Court,
who saw fit to order an investigation by the Arkansas Supreme Court Disciplinary
Committee, which took place from January 22, 2000 to May 22, 2000.) this is
pretty much irrelevant. Katie Couric supported this useless argument with the
intonation of her questions. Essentially, when you attack Clinton on some things
where you clearly have the ethical, factual, or logical highground, the most
commonly used defense is that you are a "Clinton Hater". I could go into that
further, but I think i'll do that here.
What came next was even more disgusting.
Matt Lauer interviewed Donato Dalrymple (Better known as "The Fisherman In The
Picture With A Gun Held To Him and Elian Gonzales.") and his lawyer, about his
One-Hundred Million Dollar Lawsuit against Janet Reno and her deputies for
an illegal search and seizure (By virtue that they knowingly got the Permits for
such actions via false pretenses) During this interview, Matt Lauer showed that
he has no Journalistic Integrity by pointing out that the Lawyer, whos name I
will not shame, is affiliated with Judicial Watch (A segueway back to the first
segment, showing his bias there.) and that he once sued his own mother, which was
a misnomer, he sued his step-mother for stealing his fathers money. Then Matt Lauer
made some comment about him which was really intended to be insulting commentary on
Lawyers at large, and all but called him a moron. Clearly The Today Show should
not be considered an objective news source, much less a respectable news source.
Clearly, the world is infested with idiots. |
