Unethical Headline of the Week: Mediaite

But I digress. Dershowitz made it very clear why he could no longer stomach hanging out with Democrats, other than the fact that they have savaged him for being an objective analyst of the two contrived impeachments of Donald Trump and all of the equally illegitimate lawfare cases the Biden Administration and Democratic prosecutors manufactured to keep Trump from running for President. The Democratic Party has become largely anti-Israel, pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic, and as a Jew, a lawyer and a rational man, the renowned Harvard law professor can’t tolerate it any longer. That makes sense: I don’t comprehend why any decent and informed person, and certainly any Jew, could continue supporting the party’s current mutation.

Nevertheless there’s Mediaite, playing dastardly cognitive dissonance games by attaching Dershowitz to Jeffrey Epstein in a headline about a development that has absolutely nothing to do with Epstein or, for that matter, Donald Trump. Dershowitz was one of Epstein’s lawyers in his first round of criminal charges, and he did a spectacular job, getting the sexual predator a dream deal. See, that’s what defense attorneys do. That’s their job. Anyone who impugns a lawyer for the clients he or she represents either doesn’t understand the adversary system in law or does understand but wants to deceive the hoards of dummies who walk among us.

ABA Model Rule 1.2(b): A lawyer’s representation of a client, including representation by appointment, does not constitute an endorsement of the client’s political, economic, social or moral views or activities.

Got that? Please memorize it (as I have) and spit it in the face of the next idiot who attacks a lawyer for the bad acts or character of his or her clients. Dershowitz also represented O.J. Simpson and Claus Von Bulow among other bad people, because in the United States of America, everyone is entitled to the best legal representation they can find.

Mediaite, however, having no scruples or shame and recognizing that about 85% of its readers are rabid leftists, probably anti-Semites, and the kind of silly boobs who really believe that President Trump attacked Iran to distract from the phony Epstein files scandal, published that indefensible headline anyway. So did Yahoo! News.

Ethics Alarms will no longer use Mediaite as a source. I will periodically point out what an unethical site it is, however.
