In a just world, one where Jayson Blair wasn´t thought to be the Biggest Journalism Scandal Ever, someone like David Bossie wouldn´t be allowed to show his face anywhere but Fox News. One could write volumes about this guy´s dishonesty, but the most obvious one was the time he doctored some audiotapes of Web Hubbell while working for Dan Burton.
This exchange between Lockhart and Bossie, with the pathetic Judy Woodruff playing ¨referee,¨ shows everything that´s wrong with political journalism. As Lockhart points out, it is factually undisputable that the Clintons did absolutely nothing wrong with Whitewater. Bossie just splutters that they´re liars, and Woodruff intones that this fight will continue. No, Judy, it isn´t a fight. It isn´t a disagreement. On one side you have a liar, and one side you have someone telling the truth.
David Brock admitted to being a liar, while David Bossie forced others to prove it. For some reason, David Brock´s admission means that everything he says is qualified with ¨well, he lied once so who knows if he´s lying now...¨ David Bossie gets to go on with a regular pundit-for-hire gig, while Judy Woodruff hangs on his every word.
