Tom Toles' political toon from 1/8/06 hits the nail on the head...

[nickshepDEM]

Im still baffled by the fact that the media is spending equal, if not more time on Democrats 'involved' with Abramoff.

I guess they dont have airtime to cover all the Republicans with their hands in the cookie jar. :shrug:

1. I think they really know

Once more (R)s get implicated and no Dems the spot light will shift 24/7. They just want to appear balanced for now.

[liberal N proud]

2. They are not trying to appear balanced but rather jaded in favor of the

republicans as always.
It will have to be in their face that no Dem's took money from the scum before they direct focus where it must be.
The media is owned by republican monsters and until they are forced to see the truth, they will keep spinning for the regime.

[StClone]

4. In the end jaded

What I posted is their explanation as to why they are pointing out Dems "may" be involved. But as per usual they will downplay the horrid rampant ethic decay of (R)s in the end. You are correct.

[McCamy Taylor]

3. Their GOP corporate masters told them "slime the Dems".

Same as they were told "Gore lies" and "Kerry waffles."
