Of course, DeLay's pals at Fox News have been doing their best to
disabuse the public of the notion that he might bear just a tiny bit
of responsibility for his alleged ethics violations.
Media Matters noted that several Fox News hosts went out of their way
last week to assist DeLay in his attempt to blame the media for his
problems: http://mediamatters.org/items/200504070006
Brit Hume reported that, "Here in Washington, the press is after Tom
DeLay again, but wait 'til you hear the facts," and, "speaking of Tom
DeLay, the mainstream media were out after him again today."
John Gibson said, "The liberal media is hammering 'The Hammer' - Tom
DeLay under a microscope and under the gun. Is this simply a media hit
job?"
(In order to get a fair and balanced answer he interviewed Rich Lowry,
editor of the right-wing National Review.)
And our old friend Sean Hannity referred to the "liberal allegations"
against DeLay and asked, "Is he the target of a smear campaign?"
So if you want to know the details of the charges against Tom DeLay,
don't bother asking Fox News.
They're more concerned about protecting their buddy than they are
about actually reporting the facts.
