John Murtha (D-PA) One man culture of corruption
As Noel Sheppard points out, the Washington Post has surely known most of this information long before now. We all know that were Murtha a Republican we would have seen this story on the front page from about the first of October and it would have been hammered all the way to the election.
The reason this is done on Christmas Day soon after an election is for a variety of reasons. The main one is that it won't harm the Democrats during the election since that was last month. It also allows the antique media to pretend that they fairly cover scandals no matter where they find them. The Christmas Day release is so that nobody will ever read the main story and it will be buried in the Holiday season.
Another reason, that Noel doesn't bring up, is perhaps the most sinister and shows to what lengths American media will conspire with the Democrats. When the next election rolls around they will be able to say that this is old news and was fully covered back in 2006, leaving the impression that the voters saw the story back then and deemed it irrelevant.
