This is just Atrocious.

I am very reluctant to post the link to this story, I think everyone here is fully capable of looking for themselves to find this gross breach of every known protocol in terms of revealing the address of a person in the media. So the link is not going to be in this diary. I heard this story on Rachel Maddow's show tonight and I was SHOCKED.
Keith Olbermann is a special case, and near and dear to many of our hearts, especially here on Daily Kos. Today the NY Post, in relation to an unverified tax story revealed the address of where Keith Olbermann lives. Considering that he was a target of a "white powder" attack for the NY Post to publish his actual address in their paper is unpardonable. I already sent a letter to their editor about this flagrant breach of protocol, and I hope you will as well:
To the Editor:
I'm amazed at the lack of professionalism of your "newspaper". You have totally breached all tenets of journalism by publishing Keith Olbermann's address in today's paper. This is his private address, and considering that he was subject to a possible anthrax attack in the past, it is absolutely shameful that you allowed his address to be published in your paper today.
I don't know what you think you are doing, but if something HAPPENS to Keith, you are responsible. It's YOUR fault.
I knew you were a rag, but now you have proven you are not only a worthless piece of paper, you are literally dangerous to people's lives.
For shame. Take it OFF the website, if you have any integrity at all.
Without any respect whatsoever,
Joy in Santa Cruz, CA
They willfully endangered Keith's life tonight. I don't care what reason they thought they had. This is unpardonable.
Please go to the NY Post and express your dissent!
