It's bash-the-Star day, I guess. Two gripes in one day.
This morning I wrote about an awful, misleading headline. Now I'm complaining about what the paper didn't do.
McCain made some robo-calls about the health care bill that may have broken Senate rules. If you want to know more about it, you can read the story in papers all over the country, including in the AZ Republic (It's a blog post, but at least it's there). If you want to find out about it in Tucson, you'll find it here at BfA, courtesy of AzBlueMeanie, who linked to the story on Huffington Post.
But the Star? The story is the tree that fell in the forest when no one was there. Not a sound was heard.
We saw this same pattern during the presidential campaign. Stories about McCain dirty dealings or improprieties never quite made it into our daily. I wonder if the speak-no-evil-about-McCain policy will stay in force when the Senate campaign heats up.
