Interesting commentary over at Commonwealth Conservative. A prosecutor was fired for a blog entry on his weblog decrying the “cowardice” of his superiors, specifically in a case where a rapist was brought to charges twice and never brought to court because there wasn’t enough evidence in the eyes of his superiors.
He was fired shortly thereafter. Which IMO only proves the point of how insecure and cowardly that prosecutor really was.
Sad to see this is occuring. But it is nice to know that in some fashion, blogs really are conducting the checks-and-balances that mainstream media otherwise would not (and could not, if anything for the sake of volume). It does however bring up the topic of anonymous blogging. . . but that’s for another day.
