…amongst the mainstream press, such as the Ap and Fox News, is clearly shown in the coverage of California Rep. Cunningham’s (R- Cal.) resignation from the House upon admitting that he accepted bribes from defense contractors to allocate them federal contracts. The Ap story is here, and the Fox version is here. The Fox version goes into much greater detail about what the reader cares about: the facts of the transactions. Meanwhile, at the end of the Ap story is this:
” Cunningham’s pleas came amid a series of GOP scandals. Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas had to step down as majority leader after he was indicted in a campaign finance case; a stock sale by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is being looked at by regulators; and Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff was indicted in the CIA leak case.”
It has been thoroughly shown that the DeLay indictment is a joke; Bill Frist has said exactly what he did, which is in no way questionable; and last but not least, I love how they’re still associating the words “Dick Cheney” with “CIA leak case” despite the fact that nobody was indicted for leaking anything and the indictments that were handed down have lost a great deal of credibility following Woodward’s actions. Media bias at its finest.
