This, as opposed to homicide at abortion clinics, is enough to prompt the curiosity of California\u2019s law-enforcement officials.) There is much, too, that ought to be said about the hypocrisy of the media types who are suddenly silent about this unconcealed assault on reporters\u2019 freedoms, after spending the days since Donald Trump\u2019s election propounding the importance of a vigorous press&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>&#8230; But what links media hypocrisy with partisan hypocrisy, and what is at the heart of this shameful affair, is conscience twisted beyond recognition.
