He was on Fox recently and dropped the ball on this issue, again. Why doesn’t Howard Dean cite the pre-Abramoff/post Abramoff tribal donations by Democrats when speaking to the MSM?

It’s not a stretch to say that these journalists are acting as enablers for the rampant corruption that has emerged in Washington over the last decade." Which is precisely what their corporate masters want. Big media and the Republicans are joined at the hip. Their interests conincide. To expect fairness in media coverage is akin to believing in the Tooth Fairy !! “So the reluctance of some journalists to report facts that, in this case, happen to have an anti-Republican agenda is a serious matter.

At the very least, they should be shamed to go public, a la Oprah, cry, and admit they were tooled. This journalistic whoring is more important than Abramoff, it's what allowed all the Bush follies and crimes to be perpetuated and accepted. My guess is that almost all in the media want to work for Fox--prostitutes like rich pimps! Believe it, or not, this article is too kind to Howell and Couric.

It’s Paul Krugman, behind the New York Times subscription firewall. Fortunately you can read the column on True Blue Liberal. It begins: “How does one report the facts,” asked Rob Corddry on “The Daily Show,” “when the facts themselves are biased?” He explained to Jon Stewart, who played straight man, that “facts in Iraq have an anti-Bush agenda,” and therefore can’t be reported.
