No, Stephanie... it isn't. (Updated)

.
As I pointed out and proved the rag's hypocrisy about their double standard in reporting, their fall back?

"That was different."

Gee.  When it comes to the left, it's ALWAYS "different."

Except for one thing: it isn't.

The allegations against Jacks are just as credible as the allegations against Jim Dunn.  They are precisely the same kind of thing, within the same framework, involving the same kind of activity.

But the democratian's position?

Lew,

The Richard Curtis case was a completely different set of circumstances. (And there were not 14 articles in five days, at least not all from The Columbian.) Curtis was first named by the Spokesman-Review as the victim in an alleged extortion attempt by a male prostitute. Curtis spent the next few days denying he'd paid for sex. Then a police report was released, saying Curtis admitted he'd paid for sex. Then he finally resigned. Then it came out that he'd asked the Washington State Patrol to help him out.

As other staffers said in the comments section last week, if there is ever anything credible to report about Jacks, we will report it. Until then, we will simply say he resigned for personal reasons. Stephanie

But somehow, Curtis' and Dunn's "right to privacy" didn't count as much as Jacks'.

There will never be anything that rises to the video tape level the democratian will require.  But as I pointed out earlier today, when it comes to a car wreck; none of those, live or dead, are entitled to the same considerations... because there, it's nothing BUT speculation.

This reeks with hypocrisy and an obvious double standard.  That those on the democratian staff continue to spout an unsupportable party line is as meaningless as this cover up.

Lew's response to Stephanie's idiocy?

Of course there were.  But, like always... this is somehow "different."

And like the Nazis who didn't know about the concentration camps...

If the democratian doesn't know?

It's because they don't WANT to know.  Anything else is a flat out lie.
