Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.

I'm normally against anything that smacks of blackmail, but, like Ace, I'm getting tired of the media getting a "pass" while they slime private citizens.

Just as (like Instapundit always insists) citizens should have a right to videotape cops who are videotaping them, journalists who essentially put people on trial for asking questions of politicians should themselves be "vetted."

I mean Joe the Plumber vetted. I mean Paula Jones vetted.

Vetted.

Update: Morrissey weighs in.

1 I don't know about this. I try to live by the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. I wish I had a better solution to put pressure on a out-of-control media.

2 I'm usually with you, but to be fair I AM having an Angry Day . . . I'm fighting hard, but I can't wait until this thing is over, even if it means I'm wrong about the outcome. I feel like I'm getting sucked into the vortex here. [Fine, fine, boys: make your jokes. But you know what I mean.]

3 "I wish I had a better solution to put pressure on a out-of-control media." How about putting them on the job market by canceling all those subscriptions, never sampling their 'product?' The 'one ideology' media is the most dangerous disease to afflict democracy there has ever been. The marginal media of a few thousand readers can never compete with the 50 million that sample the mainstream Kool-Aid.
