All the News That's Fit to Print 

posted by Erik @ 14:12

While the media (and the government!) went above and beyond the call of "duty" in investigating Joe the Plumber (as reported in the Cleveland Plain Dealer) — an investigation on a Republican sympathizer portending what American citizens can expect under a Barack Obama administration — they did (they are doing) little to nothing to investigate: the flowing of moolah from foreign coffers to the Democrats' candidate; the Obama campaign's alleged attempt at blackmailing a mainstream media outlet; news of Obama's ever-widening circle of links with radicals; or — perhaps worse of all — the rest of the media's refusal to investigate that media outlet's (the LA Times') refusal to print all the news that's fit to print.

Update: And speaking of news that's fit to print, shouldn't the conviction of Kwame Kilpatrick be featured more prominently?
