Nothing on CNN about Justice Thomas' ethical issues:

[Dennis Donovan]

Just an FYI...

[polichick]

1. What a surprise! Time for people to stop with the magical thinking...

...old sources and old parties aren't reliable anymore.

Question is "Now what?" imo it won't be long before the answer to that one becomes clear.

[leveymg]

2. Nothing on Thomas at Nancy Pelosi's site either: 4 on Weiner

Something is really wrong here. Keep screaming bloody murder until they do something to right this injustice.

[Dennis Donovan]

3. That deserves a WOW...

[Fumesucker]

4. Clarence is not only off the table, he's off the fucking radar screen.. n/t

[CatWoman]

6. that is

until he whips his dick out.

[Fumesucker]

7. Wanna bet?

He already did something very similar..

And got confirmed for a lifetime appointment to possibly the most powerful institution in the USA anyway.

[DCKit]

5. The word "ethics" is banned in the MSM regarding (R)s.

Every time they type it into the computers there, spell check or net nanny pops up looking for less pornographic words.

8. i no longer expect our media to be watchdogs or relevant reporters of the news

[madmom]

9. What we ned to do is...

every DUer who has an account at one of these "news" sites, keep asking the question in the comment section, no matter what the story is, ask the question and provide a link if possible. This may wake some one up, if not at least it will get more people curious as to what it's all about.

10. I couldn't care a less about ethics. I care about ILLEGALLY NOT DIVULGING GIFTS.

[malaise]

11. Sorry

It's time for episode 2 of William and Kate. Buckle up and get the barf bag!

12. You're looking at the wrong website. What do you expect from CNN?!

I rarely turn them on after I wrote them an angry response in 2005 when they cut away from John Kerry, speaking live on the floor of the Senate, to show old footage of some RWer with the opposite viewpoint, for "balance," they said. :grr:

Justices Have Been Forced To Resign For Doing What Clarence Thomas Has Done

By Ian Millhiser on Jun 19, 2011 at 1:19 pm

Justice Clarence Thomas is an ethics problem in a black robe. Just eight months after ThinkProgress broke the story of Thomas’ attendance at a Koch-sponsored political fundraiser, we learn that Thomas doesn’t just do unethical favors for wealthy right-wing donors — they also do expensive favors for him.

Leading conservative donor Harlan Crow, whose company often litigates in federal court, donated $500,000 to allow Thomas’s wife to start a Tea Party group and he once gave Thomas a $19,000 Bible that belonged to Frederick Douglass. The American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank which frequently files briefs in Thomas’ Court, also gave Thomas a $15,000 gift.

If this sounds familiar, it’s because America has seen this movie before. Indeed, the Thomas scandal is little more than a remake of the forty year-old gifting scandal that brought down Justice Abe Fortas. Like Thomas, Fortas liked to associate with wealthy individuals with potential business before his Court. And like Thomas, Fortas took inappropriate gifts from his wealthy benefactors.

13. I know, but I thought that it would at least garner a mention on CNN since it was in the NYT

:shrug:

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Hey, CNN were the ones who once asked the question

"Is Hillary Clinton Too Angry and Too Liberal?" :crazy: So what must they think of the NYT? x( :hi:

[gratuitous]

14. What would be news and worth reporting on CNN

Would be if Justice Slappy actually exhibited some ethical sensibility.
