Double standard of Whistleblowing.

From the Washington Times’ Culture Briefs column:

How you'll know "With Dan Rather's departure from the 'CBS Evening News' last week, there has been a lot of debate about whether or not there is a liberal bias in the mainstream media — as if that were a debatable point. ... "You will know the mainstream media is no longer biased. ... "When whistleblowers Linda Tripp and Manuel Miranda are treated by the media in a manner comparable to the way Richard Clarke, Paul O'Neill and Joe Wilson were treated. ... "When every conservative judicial nominee is no longer referred to as 'extreme' or 'controversial' simply because they are opposed by the Democrats. ... "When phrases like 'big union,' 'big abortion,' and 'big trial lawyers' are as common as 'big oil' and 'big tobacco' in news stories." — Lorie Byrd, writing on "Show Me," March 17 in the American Spectator Online at www.spectator.org
