When "The View" lawyers forced former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin to publicly retract things she had said because they were libelous, it was par for the course for journalists, but we could at least rejoice that she was no longer a prosecutor. Now, she's claimed, apparently, that President-elect Trump never discussed the price of eggs as a reason to vote against Biden surrogate Kamala Harris.
So we might note that, libel being a very real issue among journalists, that Hostin ought to be pursuing yet another set of opportunities. Precisely what profession would be amenable to Hostin's disdain for the truth escapes me, though, so perhaps we ought to appeal to Hostin's Catholicism and remind her of Exodus 20:16. As Thomas Sowell notes, each person is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own set of facts, and Hostin desperately needs to learn this.
That noted, a "Catholicism" that allows one to support Kamala Harris and abortion on demand--not to mention being a serial fabricator who ranks up with the worst stereotypes of President-elect Trump, but in reality--might not be the firmest bulwark for the truth.
Which leads me to a very sobering reality; Hostin previously got awards for her work prosecuting child sex crimes. While I commend those who do so ethically, as it's a tremendously difficult and traumatic thing to do, Hostin's current situation as a fabulist par excellence suggests that a good look at her cases by a group like the Innocence Project might be wise.
