Newsmax has so little respect for its viewers that it’s now airing Morris’ hopium, including his wildly inaccurate predictions that Republicans would win the midterms in a “wipeout” and cause “the extinction” of the Democratic Party. Morris is the host of the weekend Newsmax program Dick Morris Democracy and the network’s supposed elections expert. The right-wing network hired him despite his <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/dick-morris" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; background: rgb(255, 255, 102); box-sizing: border-box; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">reputation</a> as an <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/brief-history-dick-morris-and-foxs-ethical-morass" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; background: rgb(255, 255, 102); box-sizing: border-box; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">unethical commentator</a> who is widely known for being so bad at his job that not even Fox News wanted his pro-Republican commentaries. (Newsmax’s business model is partly <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/newsmax-tries-to-ditch-the-lunacy-by-doubling-down-on-copying-fox-news" style="text-decoration-line: none; outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-sizing: border-box; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">predicated</a> on hiring other <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/newsmax/newsmax-provides-haven-media-figures-histories-sexual-misconduct" style="text-decoration-line: none; outline: none; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; box-sizing: border-box; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">disgraced</a> or washed-up former Fox News commentators, including Eric Bolling, James Rosen, and Greg Kelly.) During the 2012 election cycle, Morris <a href="https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/12-failed-dick-morris-predictions" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">predicted</a> Romney would win in a “landslide”; wrote that “it’s very possible” that President Barack Obama would drop out of the race; and told viewers Republicans would “win 10 seats” in the Senate (Democrats <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections,2012" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; transition: box-shadow 0.15s ease-in-out 0s; box-shadow: rgba(25, 118, 210, 0.5) 0px -1px 0px inset;">actually gained</a> two seats).While his venue has changed, Morris’ wildly inaccurate prognostication has remained the same.

Well, that's the magnitude of what I think is going to happen.”Morris added: “I think they may go up to 270. … I think they may pick up 60 seats.

Rosen allegedly spoke to Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a State Department contractor, for a<a href="http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/node/1419" target="hplink" sl-processed="1" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">story</a> about North Korea's nuclear program. The Justice Department <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/28/world/americas/28leak.html?r=0" target="hplink" sl-processed="1" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">charged</a> Kim with violating the Espionage Act for his contact with Rosen.Kim's case has already been <a href="http://www.nbcnews.com/id/39693850/ns/us_news-security/" target="hplink" sl-processed="1" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">condemned</a> by critics of the White House's hyper-aggressive approach to leaks, but the details of the DOJ's tracking of Rosen have not been known until now. The Post's Ann E. Marimow laid out the intensity of that monitoring in her article:<blockquote style="list-style: none; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); line-height: 21px; background-color: rgb(240, 240, 240);">The Justice Department used security badge access records to track the reporter’s comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his calls with a State Department security adviser suspected of sharing the classified report. They obtained a search warrant for the reporter’s personal emails.</blockquote>(Read the DOJ's request for searching Rosen's records at the bottom of the post.)That goes above and beyond what the Justice Department did when it monitored the Associated Press. There, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/19/ap-ceo-gary-pruitt-doj_n_3303296.html" target="hplink" sl-processed="1" style="list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">it looked at phone records, not the actual contents of emails</a>.Perhaps more chilling, the Post reported that, in order to justify its search warrants for Rosen's private correspondence, the Justice Department labeled Rosen a "co-conspirator" with Kim because he made an arrangement with him about how to get him information:<blockquote style="list-style: none; margin: 15px 0px; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); line-height: 21px; background-color: rgb(240, 240, 240);">Reyes wrote that there was evidence Rosen had broken the law, “at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator.” That fact distinguishes his case from the probe of the AP, in which the news organization is not the likely target.</blockquote>It's not clear how different these arrangements, which the Post wrote involved things like code names, were from the elaborate arrangements that Bob Woodward made with Deep Throat. Journalists reacted with particular alarm to the notion that Rosen was an "abettor" simply because he pushed for a source to give him information:</div><div>
