#5 Think of a country as a household. Its your house. Its your family. Its where you have your kitchen, your dinner table. The bedrooms and the bathrooms and the children.

Its where you sleep at night and its "home". There is a guest who comes over and you allow him to come in. He says something insulting to your wife. He made a big mistake. You dont hurt him. You make sure he leaves and you make sure he leaves fast.

"Journalists" who have personal views had better bear in mind that they are in some one elses "home."

And inside that house you play by the rules of the house as long as you are there. If you dont , you may be lucky if you mouth off and DONT get hurt. They may show you the basement. Ever had a bad bad thorough beating? Something systematic and professional?

Spit on the floor and call the man's wife a puta so the kids hear it. Then try and make the door.

Now that's good "journalism".

#6 Good analogy, Knuckles. It's direct and even simple enough that my liberal friends might understand it.

Hope you don't mind if I 'borrow' it.

#7 Of course real journalists like CNN would just bribe Saddam's lackeys to keep an office open in Baghdad and only write happy glad stories they were handed. We know what you are. We're just negotiating the price.

#8 "Political views"= lefty campus-speak for aid and comfort to the enemy.
