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.
