There were so many questions he could have asked Deam but didn't.
He also could have explained when he was going to have Ken Mehlman on FNS, and add the disclaimer that Dean was unwilling to appear with Mehlman.
I agree with you, but what are you doing about it?
Make a list and send it to him, including a note that you're cross posting the list here on FR for everyone to see. Then ping all of the "right voices," like Rush, Hugh Hewitt, Michelle Malkin, LGF and PowerLine, etc. If you want, start by posting a request for input and review here. I know that there are a few folks, myself included, who will be willing to contribute. With very little research (much of it already done, if we just find the links) we can put them to shame.
We have to make them so conscious of us that they'll think twice about ignoring the obvious (not partisan) questions. They have a job to do. That job is intended to get our eyeballs on their show for the advertisers. If they're not doing the simplest tasks of their job then we need to let them know that they'll not get away without being challenged.
It's about their competence. For years they haven't had to exhibit any, just tow the party line on what the "conventional wisdom" is. No longer.
