Something like that.... Oh, the biggest reason that Leftists get away with being able to shield in this manner is that the 'Media' allows them to (by never questioning).

Yes, the 'Leftists' are experts at putting up shields around their carefully chosen and choreographed publicity pawns.... The same thing is going on with the so-called 'whistleblowers' and how that title protects them, as in 'how dare you' want to know their identity, and 'how dare you' question their political connections, and 'how dare you' question their courage...
