I find that the fact the media has been silent on Arpaio’s Obama investigation reveals their intention to ignore it altogether and only print things that discredit him in case he has really found something (which I believe he has). I find it telling that the article mentions a deal the Feds are trying to make. Why? What would the Sheriff have to bargain with (other than the Birther investigation)? I really hope he can hold out and reveal his findings.

Isn't it also interesting that the press has been careful to mention that the Justice Dept has been looking into Arpaio's methods for years already.

Now if and when they are feeling they can no longer ignore Arpaio's eligibility investigation/report, they can paint it as though it were a petty retaliatory strike on the part of the Sheriff because he's upset that the Feds have been honing in on him.

Of course the complete opposite is true, but when has "true" mattered to the Government-controlled media?
