re: #11 Obdicut
Well, look, that’s a little sweeping. Let’s say somebody ridiculous is in court. Perhaps the judge, as a human, might want to refrain from calling this ridiculous person ridiculous, because it’s the jury’s job to decide this proposition. Similarly, reporters are kind of in the business of letting us - the jury - decide what is and is not ridiculous. If Inhofe is ridiculous, merely reporting his conduct ought to allow a reasonable person to reach that conclusion. The reporter is not the story.
