Excellent post over at the Washington Monthly here explaining a central flaw in political coverage/discussion as it exists today. Here it's about the fact (note, fact) that Sarah Polin lied about turning down the "Bridge to Nowhere." But the same pattern occurs often enough that it's maddening. When one side is lying and one side is telling the truth, the fiction that a reporter must be "balanced" winds up confusing or misleading the viewers instead of informing them.
See a great This Modern World featuring the inimitable Donald Rumsfeld here.
