So, I went back and read Howie Kurtz's meditations on Salon's Henry Hyde story. They were fairly sober meditations on the issue, mostly providing a platform for all of the accusations that the Clenis itself had investigated and orchestrated the story. A couple "anonymous sources report that anymous sources overheard.." types of things we had come to love during those wonderful days. But, basically he framed the coverage around the issue of whether the media should be reporting this stuff and and whether the Clenis was behind it all.
Compare that to today's lovely discourse on the revelations that the governor of West Virginia was having an affair...
Ailes has more.
