A real journalist who has tracked down and interviewed murderous villains delivers the best rebuke to Sean Penn. Monica Showalter writes in Investor’s Business Daily about Penn and his big fan, Geraldo Rivera:
Fox News‘ Geraldo Rivera declared that the criticism being heaped on Sean Penn for his vetted “interview” with Mexican drug lord Chapo Guzman is simply a mistake.
“I would have done it,” the big-name network newsman wrote. Guys like Penn “are not co-conspirators with the world’s most wanted man. They wanted to talk to him the way others have talked to a rogue’s gallery of bad guys ranging from Pol Pot to Stalin to Hitler to Castro to Mark Chapman to John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy. This is what enterprise journalists do. They take newsworthy information from sources however distasteful, and they convey it from point A to point B,” Rivera wrote.
That’s pretty fine words until you realize that 67 Mexican journalists have been murdered by Mexico’s heinous cartels, including Guzman’s, for the “crime” of trying to report the truth without Chapo’s vetting. The Washington Post called it an “epic insult” to their memory.
But in Rivera’s own mind, it all seemed so logical.
The creep factor on Penn is suffocating.
I just came across a quote attributed to Mark Twain a few minutes ago, and seeing Geraldo gives it more clarity. Paraphrasing, “I’ve never wished a man dead, but have taken pleasure reading certain obituaries.”
My take: Dead. Man. Walking
put penn in a picture beside this idiot and you have a PAIR of DICKWEEDS
