Democrats Under Ethics Cloud Benefit From Distracted Public - Presidential Politics | Political News - FOXNews.com: "Allegations of ethics violations by a handful of Democrats in recent months reached something of a crescendo this week as two prominent members of Congress were accused of corruption.
California Rep. Jane Harman denied allegations that she offered to help seek reduced charges for two pro-Israel lobbyists suspected of espionage in exchange for help from a pro-Israel donor, also suspected Israeli agent, in lobbying House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to give Harman a key chairmanship.
And California Sen. Dianne Feinstein denied that she devised legislation that helped her husband get a federal contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.
But the latest cases, which involve Democrats, did not make the same splash that corruption allegations did a few years ago, when Republicans were on the receiving end of the finger-pointing.
Some Republican analysts attribute the difference to timing.
Democrats have benefited from an 'Obama media cycle,' said Republican strategist Ron Bonjean, who served as an aide to former House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott."
This is what happens when news media like MSNBC plays cheerleader to Obama. We Americans are not getting the factual information in a fair way. We need to boycott MSNBC until they decide that it is in their best interest to report news instead of pushing policy and promoting any politicians views.
