Man, I hate to ask the obvious question here (since I would hope anyone who reads this node would be asking themselves the same thing I'm about to ask you), but how can an editorial staff which is:
- Liberal
- Usually supporting Democratic individuals and initiatives
be non-partisan?
You people kill me.
So, we have a balance here: The Times is "overtly Republican," and the Post is "overtly Democratic." Oh, you didn't say that, did you? You spun your writeup just like a good liberal editorial writer. Good work, Bernstein!
And, since my liege has weighed in here, with sword and shield akimbo, I'd just like to add that the reporters who milk this story until this very day continually get on the talking head shows and pontificate about how Watergate was the Big Momma of all scandals in the history of man. This leads them to pooh-pooh any scandal since (such as the ones which would have led any decent man to vacate 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a long, long time ago) as just a small incident in our history. If Watergate were to be eclipsed, in their minds, they would disappear and go to rot in journalism hell. A very red-faced Lou Grant would be calling them into the very hot little cubicle to chew their asses, literally, daily and forever.
