Far Right Bias In Lead Story

Today, the Journal’s lead story on Scooter Libby pounds home the “excessive punishment” right wing talking point four times before the reader gets to the third paragraph. One has to turn to page six before the Journal mentions any competent criticism of George Bush’s decision to commute Libby’s sentence before he has served even one day. Note that many conservatives do not condone pardoning crimes.

Remember when the Journal mounted a daily attack against President Clinton for his alleged “perjury” and “obstruction of justice?” Somehow these crimes are not so important to the Journal today.

I tried to find the Journal story about the Libby commutation online, but couldn't.

I keep thinking that Darth Cheney and the monkey can't do more damage and then! WHAMMO! more damage to our country, the Consitution (somewhere there was an oath taken about upholding said Constitution)

The online version of the Journal is stinky at best.
