You bring up some keen points, but the reactions of the various partisan apparatuses do seem to be different.
The conservative media circus defended Bill O’Reilly and Roger Alias until the very last nail in the coffin. Hell, O’Reilly recently made a special appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.” He’s now producing some kind of television show with right-wing conspiracy news site “Newsmax.”
The right/left certainly isn’t divided into devils and angels respectively. But I do think the rank-and-file left has a better track record here. If people disagree, keep flushing these motherf*ckers out, I’ll certainly applaud that.
