An axiomatic approach
Glenn Greenwald is fast becoming one of the most insightful and vital analysts on the scene today. He is a perfect example of how an honorable person with sufficient resources can perform the duties of a journalist at the highest level.
With fewer resources, I take a slightly different approach. I start with a fundamental question: Is the Bush regime a criminal operation, with the political sphere its chosen arena for implementing its sociopathic schemes? The answer, based on over six years of evidence, is yes.
The criminality of the Bush regime then becomes a premise, an axiom. Given that this regime is essentially a criminal operation, anyone who supports it and alibis for it is an accessory to its crimes of negligence, deception, mass murder, kidnapping, torture, treason, theft, fraud, voyeurism, obstruction of justice, and extortion.
Thus, the "journalists" who provide cover for the Bush criminal operation are not just protecting their careers. They are doing felonious harm to humanity. For their crimes they should be prosecuted, and they should be breaking rocks in the hot sun for the rest of their lives. For a few pieces of silver they have betrayed their entire species, to say nothing of the myriad of other species that are directly threatened by this gang of cutthroats. Hmm. Cutthroat is a bit of an understatement.
