Forget Bloggers. Are Journalists Journalists?

Back in February, [the Associated Press'] Solomon produced a lengthy expose on Team Abramoff's
alleged efforts to sway Reid to support their Marianas sweatshop
clients, without ever mentioning that Reid consistently voted against
the Marianas sweatshop owners. That's a rather salient fact. And once
you knew it, the whole piece pretty much collapsed, leaving Solomon
with a quid in search of a quo. And perhaps not even a quid. The whole thing was a genuine embarassment.
Now, Solomon's back reporting that Reid accepted boxing tickets he was
allowed to accept from his home state's boxing commission and in
exchange voted against the people who gave him the tickets. ( He voted
for more federal boxing regs.) When will the corruption end? Paul Kiel
has the details.)
