From la Frum:

I’ll be curious to see whether one – just one! – of the many media sources that have condemned the Bush administration’s terrorist surveillance program will deplore the publication by Reuters of Mark Sanford’s love e-mails. What on earth does the publication of this embarrassing and hurtfully intimate material add to a story that was already plain enough?

Now my brain is not as sharp as the perspicacious David Frum’s, and one perhaps should support an attempt to sympathize with the embattled Governor. But this attempt to conflate two different issues under a relevant news angle is completely warped. Is he saying that you can’t dispute a government policy of intruding on the privacy of citizens, unless you acknowledge that the media intrudes on the private lives of men in office?

Or is Frum just wildly throwing misshaped stones at the media’s bias? If so, that makes him rather similar to a man he likes to disparage, Rush Limbaugh.
