MSNBC "Ethicist" Idiot
This guy is saying it's "unethical" for Doubleday to publish the book, for Kitty Kelley to write the book and for people to buy the book.

God forbid anyone criticize the President!

F'ing moron.

1. Yes, and I'm sure he said the same
about the Swiftie's book. Wink, wink. Disgusting.

7. Who knows? I'm sure he wasn't brought in to question their right...
... to publish.

If having a journalistic standard is a good thing, having multiple standards is a great thing.

3. Oh wait there's more!
Even if it's all true he says it's STILL unethical because he says Kitty Kelley did not do her "due diligence" before publishing the book. (This is bullshit - she DID.)

He then painted CBS with the same stroke - saying they are unethical because they didn't do their "due diligence" before last week's story. The memos aren't forgeries!

What a moron!

At least the woman interviewing him had the (vague) decency to remind us at the end, "The point of view of (fucking morong), ethicist" before ending the interview.

12. MSNBC says its unethical for Swift vets to accuse Kerry with NO documents
to back up their accusations.

Oops...no they didn't. Instead they gave the Swift vets a platform to spew their undocumented charges 24/7 for a month.

15. E-mail at ombudsman@msnbc.com
and (201)583-4385, will only connect you to a message recording line.

I saw that jerk. He kept saying it was all "gossip". As I've (over-)posted, the dictionary definition contains NO connotation of "untruth". Quite the contrary, it sez "reports" of "facts" regarding intimate or sensational things. It don't say nuttin about NOT being true.

16. MSNBC has an ethicist?
Did he comment on MSNBC's own Joe Scarborough, who invited his law partner on his program, to discuss a legal case, without disclosing his guest's relationship to him, and without disclosing that their firm was a party in the case being discussed?
