[quote=@Penny]Voting someone who assaults journalists is also contemptible. [/quote] You might even call it [i]deplorable.[/i] What the incident says to me is that the Guardian -- I misspoke, it was not a CNN reporter but a Guardian reporter -- is not particularly popular in Montana. We can attribute that to whatever you like, but at some point the journalists whose job it is to inform the people have to start asking [i]themselves[/i] why nobody respects them anymore. I don't think it has anything to do with hating the gays. The news today is naked punditry -- investigative, expository coverage is left to the 400-pound hackers lurking 4chan.
