We tend to give journalists a very bad rep on this channel. This is for a number of reasons. The main one being that they deserve it. Now, we don't have time to relitigate the entire catalog of the sins of those dirty, dirty smear merchants. But I know what they've done, you know what they've done, and they know what they've done. But what if I told you that there was once a *good* journalist? A loose cannon perhaps, but one that got results. A good journalist who stopped at nothing to get to the truth, no matter the cost. Well, when you're reporting on the actions of the CIA, the costs can be pretty fatal. Gary Webb.
