7/26/2005 05:25:00 PMSure, this quote is from the Wall Street Journal on Monday July25, but it's indicative of the wording that is slipping into somecoverage by the MSM."But Democrats are sure to try to use the time to sowdoubts about the president's team and erode his publicsupport, already damaged by the conflict in Iraq and highgasoline prices."Since when did upholding national security and condemning politicallymotivated leaks and the outing of covert CIA agents (which weakensour country in the war on terror) become cheap politics? What theMSM should be stressing is that Bush and Rove placed politicsabove national security -- not pretending that Dems who catchthem at it are playing games to score points and win votes. Call themon it when they use this language -- these stories should be holdingBush's feet to the fire, not belittling the work of those who think ourcountry's defense is too important to be a political football.
