And I appreciate your fair and balanced evaluation of my post. I don't think this is really both siding because we all know James O'Keefe has no ethics and is a regular target of Lauren Windsor himself. Which I applaud.

Sasha Baron Cohen's comedy does the same thing but simply for entertainment.

I dispute your characterization of her as a journalist. Some call her an "advocacy journalist" others an "activist journalist." These are not in the strict sense journalists beyond the fact that they both use a keyboard.

The editor of a journalist would actually contact the subject and tell them that they will be publishing the comments and give them at least an opportunity to explain themselves. Instead she goes straight to the antisocial media and launches a million clicks, posts, reposts and essentially confirms that with which most of us already believe that Alito has some pretty far out (but not impeachable) opinions and that Mrs. Alito is an unhinged harpy. I also have to wonder whether the Alitos might have responded the same had she just presented herself as a journalist. I do believe Alito considers himself bulletproof and some of his opinions from that recording will show up in his next dissenting opinion!
