Old News

This is becoming old news, but since they're smearing Arnie up one wall and down the other....

Now that Democrat Cruz Bustamante is California's gubernatorial recall front-runner, we can look forward to in-depth media investigations of the Latino candidate's long-held ties to the racial separatist group MEChA, right?

Ha.

Ha is right. This has never made the LA Times, has it? Thank goodness they're an unbiased representative of the ("Oh, we're not liberal") news media.

But wait, this article seems to say that, hmm, perhaps the LA Times is a little, er, slanted.

Some politicos dub the Thursday before a big election 'Dirty Tricks Thursday.' That's the best day for an opponent to unload his bag of filth against another candidate, getting maximum headlines, while giving his stunned opponent no time to credibly investigate or respond to the charges.

It creates a Black Friday, where the candidate spends a precious business day right before the election desperately investigating the accusations, before facing a weekend in which reporters only care about further accusations that invariably spill out of the woodwork.

Dirty Tricks Thursday is not used by the media to sink a campaign.

Yet the Times managed to give every appearance of trying to do so.

Stewart goes on to report on stories she attempted to get written about Gov. Gray's not so gray temperment. But, no, let's talk about 20 year old Arnie gropes. So much more in keeping with the editorial desires of the paper.

Fooles.
