Me thinks Rep. Wexler pinned the tail on the donkey when he brings up the fact that the media has largely ignored the story. Here we have the Bush administration which has its tv arm (Fox “News”), its radio arm (conservative talk radio), its push for the iraq war arm (NY Times) as well as the editorial boards of many major news organizations in its pockets from across the country (see the Wall Street Journal, Washington Times and Washington Post for starters).
Meanwhile, on the other side of the equation we have Rep. Wexler speaking truth to power with a tiny video camera. He can’t seem to afford a tripod or a separate microphone and I’m betting he’s got an intern doing the filming. WTF! Wexler’s the best but come on!
