For the information of our readers, 'fair and balanced'
also uses the phony name of Ed Cognoski, and calls herself 'secular
liberal', Her views (I say her because our regulars all say they know her
real identity and that she is a liberal activist and former reporter in
Dallas) reflect a consistency that lays out the liberal position on issue
after issue, just like her comments on this story about the sentencing of
our border agents. By the way, 97% of those polled online on a NBC poll
thought that it was ridiculous what the government has done in this done.
But not our E.C. who enthusiastically defends the government's actions in
this case.
Ed Cognoski responds:
Mr Pauken:
- I just quoted another news story to provide some balance to the Dallas Blog's one-sided presentation of the supposed facts of the case. I did not "enthusiastically defend the government's actions." Neither did I jump to condemn those who defend our Constitution and enforce our laws like you did. News stories should present the facts and not take sides. The Dallas Blog failed that fundamental principle.
- I use varying aliases on Dallas Blog because Dallas Blog does not prevent others from impersonating me and signing their own ad hominem attacks with my usual moniker.
- Your last paragraph makes a pretty good ad hominem attack itself. By the way, your obsessive accusations about me being "a liberal activist and former reporter in Dallas" are completely unsupported by fact. That reflects very poorly on the editorial judgment of Dallas Blog.

Getting back on the subject of the headline for this blog entry...
The Dallas Morning News published an editorial on this border incident. The money quote... "As U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton said, 'In order to maintain the rule of law, federal prosecutors cannot look the other way when law enforcement officers shoot unarmed suspects who are running away, then lie about it to their supervisors and file official reports that are false.'"
It's unfortunate that Tom Pauken and some conservative Congressmen support ignoring the law when it suits their ends. This is now considered to be the "liberal" position. It shows just how far off track modern conservatism has gone.
