Nightline Smears Scalia

As I said last week, the ethics problems in the recent ABC report about Judge Scalia isn't with the court, but with the media.

From an Accuracy in Media report today:

Near the end of the report, host Cynthia McFadden asked, "Now, Brian, there's no evidence, is there, that any of these freebies have influenced any judge in rendering an opinion on the Supreme Court?" Ross said that "it isn't just Justice Scalia. Justices at all ends of the political spectrum take plenty of these trips to lots of nice places, all paid for by somebody else." But Ross never mentioned anything about this so-called "appearance" problem affecting any one of the liberal justices until then, and he did not name any.

He could have done reports on how liberal Justices like former ACLU general counsel Ruth Bader Ginsburg have attended judicial conferences in Europe and have come away with a strange view of how foreign law should guide them in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Like Scalia, Chief Justice John Roberts and Judge Samuel Alito have both categorically rejected this approach to deciding cases in U.S. courts.

And the Leftist media wonders why thinking people are abandoning them in droves...
