Shuster and MSNBC would have to work hard to rise to the reporting standards of the National Enquirer.
NE has more credibility than Shuster or Matthews or Olberdork, anyday.
Somebody is feeling owned...
Didn’t the National Equirer or some other tabloid break the Bill Clinton/Gennifer Flowers story? There too, the MSM was not interested in what a good Democrat such as Bill Clinton was doing.
Media bias exists when the stories are slanted or reported in certain ways. And media bias exists WHEN THEY DECIDE WHICH STORIES TO COVER, AND WHICH ONES TO IGNORE.
Was the Mark Foley story really worth two weeks of saturation coverage in the fall of ‘06 during the mid-term election campaign?
Was the Larry Craig story really worth the coverage it got?
We’ll see if this story peters out over the weekend, or if it has “legs”. I think they just wanted to get it out of the way. Then if anybody says anything next week, the Dems. will take a page from Bill Clinton’s playbook and say this story is old news and already dealt with. And their allies in the newsrooms may decide to move on from it.
Would a prominent Republican get the same treatment in a case like this?
