James Clapper is a signatory?

The man who perjured himself in front of congress?

I think not.

I don't put much faith in things Turley writes. He went off the deep end a long time ago and went into crazy town. Marc Elias has, correctly IMO, labeled him as "the pillow guy, but with tenure."

Why would you place stock in anything Marc Elias has to say? He is, at the very least, a partisan ideologue. And he’s certainly not a journalist unlike “the pillow guy, but with tenure”.

Turley isn't a journalist either. The link is to an opinion piece. I'm commenting on someone's opinion which, IMO, is rather suspect.

Stop saying this about journalists who you used to agree with, but now disagree with.

Turley isn't a journalist. He's a law professor. It's an opinion piece.

And I never said I agreed with him in the past. Just commenting on how he changed over time.
