That seems to be the way the networks cover the news. All headlines, little or no perspective.
Lets look at what you get from the MSM.
There is this story.
U.S. attorney inquiry reaches White House-
The House Judiciary Committee on Friday sharply broadened its investigation into the firing of eight top federal prosecutors, calling on the White House to provide legal documents and make present and former senior officials available for interviews -- including former White House counsel Harriet Miers.
OK, I will give the MSM and Chuck Schumer the benefit of the doubt, Bush fired these attorneys for political reasons. So, flippin what? These people are appointed, let me repeat that, appointed by the President. They serve at the pleasure of the President. (HT ABP)
3-2.120 Appointment United States Attorneys are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate for a four-year term. See 28 U.S.C. Sec. 541. Upon expiration of this term, the United States Attorney continues to perform the duties of the office until a successor is confirmed. United States Attorneys are subject to removal at the will of the President. See Parsons v. United States, 167 U.S. 314 (1897).Where was the hue and cry from Chuck Schumer when newly elected Bill Clinton told Janet Reno to fire every US attorney, that was all 93 of them, and appoint his own people to fill those positions?
Upon taking office, in an unexplained departure from the practice of recent Administrations, Miss Reno suddenly fired all 93 U.S. attorneys. She said the decision had been made in conjunction with the White House. Translation: The President ordered it.Why not give the American people a little perspective? Ooh, Ooh, I know, I know,,, because that wouldn't make Bush look bad, and we can't have that now can we?
