I have a crazy busy day so don't have much time to write on this subject but just saw this on the front page of politico.com and am livid:
This strikes me as some Fox News-style reporting bulls**t. "Accidentally" putting a Democratic label on a Republican sex-scandalist. Ensign's scandal is much bigger than his Democratic friends on the left and right of him in the photo, and yet there he is under the headline "Ethics probes saddle Dems in 2010". I don't love Politico, but I read Ben Smith's blog religiously and although sensationalist, I don't usually find thier reporting over-the-top biased. But this over-the-top biased headline rattled me. POLITICO: WTF!?
