I wonder...

Congress(wo)man hits police officer versus cabinet member staying on the job: which story would get more press if a few things were changed? Let's say Rick Santorum was accused of punching a Capitol Hill police officer. Calls for his resignation would abound and the press would have "__ days to Santorum's censure and resignation" countdown clock going. If Cynthia McKooky were Defense Secretary, would calls for her resignation be front page news if she were staying on the job? We know the answer.

I don't get (well I do because of the politics involved) why Rumsfeld is in the news. A few people want him removed and it's BIG NEWS when Bush says he's staying. Really, wouldn't the big news be if Bush fired him as opposed to Bush not firing him?

So it goes with the MSM. They ignore stories about a congress(wo)man who strikes* a law enforcement official but it's "breaking news" when some people say they don't like the job Rumsfeld is doing. The MSM has once again proved its bias.

*CNN.com called it a 'scuffle.' If it were Santorum they would call it a 'beating.'
