Missing in Action: THE LIBERAL PRESS

We've heard it now for decades: the press has a liberal bias and pushes things which make Republicans look bad and Democrats look good.

I've worked in the press for more than 20 years now from the eastern seaboard back home to Texas and I can tell you that there are examples of both liberal and conservative bias in newsrooms all over the place. Period. There are only 2 units of measure which really matter:
1. The sum of those bias's--which bias wins out more often, or the degree of seriousness in that bias, and
2. What the press chooses NOT to cover.

Well here's an atomic bomb-sized subject NOT being covered. It's an article from the London Times talking about papers leaked pertaining to talks with American officials in July of '02. Within those papers are these quotes:
"A separate secret briefing for the meeting said Britain and America had to “create” conditions to justify a war."
and
(Jack) "Straw suggested they should “work up” an ultimatum about weapons inspectors that would “help with the legal justification”. Blair is recorded as saying that “it would make a big difference politically and legally if Saddam refused to allow in the UN inspectors”.

This stuff references potentially impeachable offenses. They are smoking gun styled materials. Now, keep in mind I'm not saying here that the President is guilty, that here's proof; he lied. I'm not saying that here's the evidence; the President should be impeached.

What I AM saying is that this should be investigated for its legitimacy, and that it should be reported in our notoriously liberal media. Strange thing is, as I search the liberal media for mention of it, I find nothing. A scan this morning of abcnews.com, foxnews.com, msnbc.com, and the Clinton News Network (CNN.com) yields new twists and turns in Michael Jackson's trial, the fact that Harry Reid apologized to Bush for calling him a loser, and a projected winner in today's Kentucky Derby. But no mention of the scandal that's all over the papers in the UK.

"But wait!" as they say..."there's more!" 88 members of the House of Representatives have formally submitted a letter requesting more information directly from the president about this memo.
They asked:
1) Do you or anyone in your Administration dispute the accuracy of the leaked document?
2) Were arrangements being made, including the recruitment of allies, before you sought Congressional authorization go to war? Did you or anyone in your Administration obtain Britain's commitment to invade prior to this time?
3) Was there an effort to create an ultimatum about weapons inspectors in order to help with the justification for the war as the minutes indicate?
4) At what point in time did you and Prime Minister Blair first agree it was necessary to invade Iraq?
5) Was there a coordinated effort with the U.S. intelligence community and/or British officials to "fix" the intelligence and facts around the policy as the leaked document states?

Surely you would think that the liberal media, being served up such a scandalous buffet of tidbits would be all over this...but you'd be wrong to think that. The liberal media is missing in action.

And I gotta say, I don't want a liberal media. I want one which lives up to what it's supposed to do: cover the news in a fair and unbiased way. Investigate. Find the facts and report them. It's entirely possible that this scandal doesn't actually have merit. THAT'S what a real media's pressure and investigative might could determine...if that media existed. I'm sorry to report, that media is gone without a trace.
