msm-analysis - news stories about republican corruption must include speculation about democrats

a growing wariness about money in politics - republicans, who control the white house and congress, are most vulnerable to this wave. but pollsters say that voters think less of both political parties the more prominent the issue of corruption in washington becomes, and that incumbents generally could feel the heat of citizen outrage if the two latest guilty pleas multiply in coming months.


with one exception the indictments that birnbaum describe are of republicans. (we might add that if any democratic politicians are caught up in this frenzy of investigations of corrupt republicans, we believe that they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.) the entire capitol hill culture of corruption is the creation of delay, abramhoff, rove and norquist. the whole point of the k-street project is to drive democrats away from the lobbiest gravey-train.

still, birnbaum has to write a "voters will blame both parties," because he is congenitally incapable of writing the truth, "the republican party's corruption has caught up with them." do you think they make reporters get a chip implanted in their brain before they give them columns at wapo?

update: npr just did it too. maybe they get the chip when they get an msm job in d.c.
