After all he's done, plus them finding $90k in his freezer, a reporter actually asked the federal prosecutor "Is this indictment politically motivated?"
No, the main stream media is QUITE fair and balanced, REALLY!!!
Can you imagine if this were a Republican?
Quietly? Been all over the news. I check about 20 sites plus Google. Currently 918 articles available.
Scooter Libby got sentenced to 30 months today. That's been all over the news, too.
Neither one strikes me as quiet.
I think I heard it mentioned maybe twice.
...within the mainstream media that is.
