This shows you how the mind works. I started
reading an interesting tidbit about Daniel Schorr, and wound up looking
for a picture of the Globe's Thomas Oliphant, and then back to Schorr
(not to be confused with Robert Scheer, which is real easy to
do). First, I read this about the last living agent recruited by Edward R. Murrow.

For
Goldwater, the
first modern conservative to win a presidential nomination, the
unending torrent of abuse verged on the apoplectic. CBS News solemnly
reported the week of his nomination that Goldwater's first act after
the convention would be to travel to Germany for a visit to
"Berchtesgaden, once Hitler's stamping ground." And what will the
conservative Goldwater do once there? "There are signs," CBS reporter
Daniel Schorr said ominously, "that the American and German right wings
are joining up..." Got that? Barry Goldwater, said CBS in so many
words, was really a Nazi. With a presidential nomination in hand, he
was literally heading to Hitler's home to get the international Nazi
movement rolling. The story, from the trip to Germany to the visit to
Hitler's estate was, of course, false from beginning to end. "From God to Godless: The Real Liberal Terror"

That will help you understand why Democrats today are convinced that
truth in reporting is a Right-wing plot. They
grew up under the spell, in an era when 100% of our news was filtered through a leftist prism. Now for why Schorr reminds me of Oliphant
. It's simple, I despise them. Their very appearance on the
telly makes me want to shoot big holes in my set. They are both
haughty, stupid as poop-corn artifacts of the old media. They
made stuff up to suit their leftist world view, and gave themselves
awards for doing it. Back to Schorr. This pretty much says it all.

 ''Rather
than defend the integrity of the CIA, the American left has done
everything in its power to destroy it. It was Seymour Hersh and the New
York Times that launched a campaign to paint the CIA as a “rogue
elephant” agency back in 1974. Their efforts led to both houses of
Congress, led by Democrats, working overtime during the Carter
administration, to gut the agency’s intelligence-gathering operations.
Some liberals went further. CBS reporter Daniel Schorr lost his job
when he leaked the secret House report on the CIA to the Village Voice,
an action that outraged Americans but certainly pleased some folks at
National Public Radio. They were pleased enough to hire him.'' - "Liberal Democrats, So Hypocritical"
