This is a “story” that would otherwise be written in flaming letters above the fold…..but it’s not a story.

A significant proportion of our society would consider this to be outright redbaiting. I believe it is more like a gust of fresh air blown across material, that while available, is mainly unaccessed .

Media bias. It has now been some weeks since a small alternative paper in San Fran published the story about Sen. Diane Feinstein. She sat on the subcommittee which had oversight over Pentagon building and services contracts.
Her husband, in the same time period, owned companies which received hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts from the Defense Department.
Private companies.
She recently accepted a reassignment to a less powerful subcommittee. Given the great amount of attention (no link needed) to HALLIBURTON, and its connections, in recent times, it is a little puzzling that none of the great news organs has pursued this.
It’s simply not a story. Now I don’t know that anything illegal has transpired. Maybe I’m not enough of a lawyer to use “recusal” in a sentence. Maybe there’s a teaching moment to be had about public service and ethics. But, it’s simply not a story.
If you Google it, there is coverage. On the first page, however, the only large media entry was the SFChronicle. No large media organs with vast resources. And certainly no references to Halliburton. I’m not surprised at the number of entrees, because this story is of quite some interest to bloggers.
But it’s not a STORY. No daily, above the fold WPNYT treatment.
IS SHE GUILTY?
WHEN WILL SHE RESIGN?

My experience is that both sides in issues like these tend to bend the numbers, but it does feel somewhat persuasive to me.

Gee, I thought Reid (and Pelosi) had been pretty clear on this for a while. Apparently, he went back on the floor of the Senate to add a weasel qualifying statement, so maybe he thought he had misrepresented his position a little.
I’ve seen a few blogs with pages of comments in outrage. Given my perception, I’m surprised at their surprise.

I don’t think you’ll catch Michael Barone appreciatively quoting too many “wingnuts”. Also a few more interesting words on Harry Reid.
I guess from now on, when I hear “swiftboating” as an operative term, I’ll have to label the user as not credible.

I dunno , but it seems as though there is a strange asymetry in the nomination races. The dems can’t seem to work up any interest in any centrist candidates. Hilary comes closest, but comes with big baggage and is tacking left for all she is worth, right now.
The repubs credible candidates all are quite centrist, and they can’t seem to bring up any guys reasonably to the right.
Here comes Fred. We can’t be missing Allen and Lieberman that much!

I have NO idea of actual magnitude, but, I imagine that 10 cents spent in China for emissions abatement would go a hell of a lot farther than a dollar spent in the US.
