Memo to Milbank: Report both sides in the DC Madam trial.



Here is a person who wrote to the editor of Washington Post concerning Dana Milbank's article on the DC Madam trial. And I agree with the person who wrote the article:


Saturday, April 12, 2008; Page A14
Dana Milbank's description of the court proceedings in the case of accused D.C. madam Deborah Palfrey ["The D.C. Madam Case, All Sordid Out," Washington Sketch, April 11] raised the question of whether the D.C. Bar association has sanctions for attorneys who use the law to needlessly humiliate others.
Shame on the prosecutors for this witch hunt, the pillorying of the largely defenseless women who sold these services. Why not bring to the witness stand more of the powerful men who were the buyers?
Surely Ms. Palfrey's operation is one of the least vicious forms of prostitution in Washington today. That great social observer, Charles Dickens, called the law "a ass, a idiot." In this case, it is something rather worse.

Ms. Clement was correct. I did a google search on Milbanks. Well I now understand why he was one sided in the case. He's so close to George W. Bush that the Gerbil gave him a nickname that he can't put in print. Look Dana is a wanna bee and is so far up Bush he can't be found. When Jean is found not guilty Dana will say the jurors were wrong. The White House has done a great job at paying the Journalist to lie. We see Judges, Lawyers, Journalist, Talk Show Host, Media, Supreme Court Justices and every department of the Government under the control of Bush/Cheney. Even the Law Makers from both parties are getting kick backs. It's so hard to tell who's honest anymore. This is one reason why the Public doesn't trust the Media. Judy Miller was the example of what has gone wrong in Journalism and people like Dana just follow along.
