The News hour does it again. This is why I just don't watch that often. They implicated Harry Reid in the scandal by stating Democratic senator Harry Reid has taken money from Jack Abramoff tribes. Their coverage again made it seem as if democrats were implicated in the scandal. They also did not identify many of the republicans now under indictment as republicans. Here is the letter I sent them, and I suggest that others do the same. I sent the letter to the ombudsmen at

I am watching the News Hour and am again frustrated with your poor coverage. A program on lobbying reform mention Harry Reid and implicated that Senator Reid received money from Jack Abramoff. HE DID NOT. He did receive money from a tribe that was a client of Mr. Abramoff. However, they have always given money to Senator Reid, even before they were clients of Mr. Abramoff. In fact, their amount of donations to democrats has gone down, since they have become clients of Mr. Abramoff. Please stop implicating democrats in this scandal. It is a republican scandal period.

P.S. This kind of poor reporting is why I no longer donate to PBS and rarely watch your coverage.
