This is why we must have an R President, so the press will do their job. Yes, they will do it unfairly, but they will be on top of corruption and graft coming from an R Pres.

Of course they can make stuff up, "its the seriousness of the charge, not the reality" But maybe the next R Admin will stand up and fight back with facts. Similar to what Cheney did on Meet the Press, yesterday. Why didn't they let him do that under Bush, with all the spurious charges?

Yeah, they did such a good job with Spiro Agnew (corruption charges from his time in Maryland politics, which is traditionally a sewage bath, remember?), and then they went on to "get" Dick Nixon for crap they were equally happy with, when Franklin Roosevelt and Landslide Lin't'n were doing it.

At least my uncle, who was arguing with us young guys about what was going on in 1973, lived long enough that I could apologize to him in 2006, when it all came together that he had been absolutely right and that Ben Bradlee and Kitty Graham (wringer ***s and all) were running a vendetta, not an investigation.

I won't be satisfied until I see the MSM destroyed and its tasks redistributed among a host of successor media.
