Absolutely. It matters not how he manipulated the phones to obtain confidential information. It wasnt suppose to be done. PAYING state department officials for national security secrets is illegal.

Incorrect. It is illegal to sell classified information but not for a journalist to pay a source.

Online, I read the BBC, CNN, NYTimes, Washington Post, and several others.
I get the WSJ delivered daily.
For fun, I watch FOX and MSNBC on the Telly, but not very often (from my perspective, these two are different sides of the same coin, and the coin is ridiculous).
While driving the big brown truck, I listen to NPR (it's the least histrionic, and even with the 'schweddy-balls' aspect of public radio:
'schweddy-balls'
it's the most 'fair and balanced' news source I've found).
I only listen to Rushbo when driving very long distances... maybe it's 'entertainment', but it's definitely NOT journalism, news, or anything close.
Like water, we all tend to find our lowest point...if you hate Obama, you likely identify with FOX. If you hated Bush, you probably love MSNBC, etc...
In my Sci-Fi imagination, journalists should be like Priests...they should be held to very high standards, they should be accountable, and you should be able to trust what you hear.
That's not the case, and now, everyone with a web-cam and an agenda is a 'journalist'.
So, here we are!

But without the Daily Show and the Colbert Report, the larger media narrative couldn't claim it's objective, fair and balanced. Even Stewart and Colbert will lead you right back to the point of the problem and present it as conclusion if you follow it all the way out. Having no where else to go, you just repeat the cycle once again. Rat in a cage.
But I do find Stewart a funnier journey so it's not all bad!

YES they have. Unlike those at FOX NEWS or Right wing radio. Lets start with FOX NEWS... BILL ORIELLY is the only one with a higher education and a college degree. Sean Hannity dropped out of college after briefly attending in his freshman year. Rush Limbaugh barely made it out of high school and has NO higher education. Mark Steyn who fills in for RUSH and appears on FOX news has no formal higher education.
These men ramble on everyday as if they are the most intelligent people in the country, yet NOT one of them is qualified to speak on serious issues of this country. What they do is read prepared remarks by the heritage foundation and put thier own "spin" on those talking points everyday.
They do not do any of their own research and merely rely on the information supplied by the heritage foundation.
To their fans, these men are the smartest men in town, but only the foolish will listen to fools.

U.S. Attorney Investigating Fox News Donated to Obama
The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive
surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns.
At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit:
Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns. He gave $250 to Obama’s U.S. Senate
campaign in 2003, a year before Obama, then an Illinois state senator, emerged on the nation’s political
radar, according to campaign finance records.
During the questioning Sen. Cornyn revealed that not only was Machen a donor to the Obama campaign, he
was also a volunteer for Obama for America.

Common sense doesn't need a peice of paper. You don't need a degree to see reality and know the truth. "These men ramble on daily" and SLAUGHTER left wing-nut drones in their ratings regardless if its radio or cable network news.....but we still have a two term Marxist in the White House because only those with enough common sense to think for themselves get out to vote for Congressional elections. The truly brain dead and willfully clueless show up in droves to vote for a spokesman. A puppet that sits at the head of a long long table of handlers. Ah, thats so smart of most Americans.
