Congratulations, Reuters - George Orwell would be proud

Apparently the mainstream media has now decided that it's no longer relevant to report that House Speaker Nany Pelosi isn't traveling alone to Syria. She's with a congressional delegation INCLUDING REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. It's a bipartisan delegation. Kind of a relevant point when discussing whether Pelosi is somehow a fool for making this trip. And not just a fool, but the implication is very clearly that Speaker Pelosi is playing partisan games here - she's the Democratic bull in the Republican foreign policy china shop. Thus it's rather sloppy and misleading for Reuters' Susan Cornwell to fail to mention the Republican delegation members in her newest article. (CNN's Andrea Koppel did the same thing.)

And don't even get me started on the fact that neither Cornwell, nor anyone else in the mainstream media, is bothering to mention that a Republican congressional delegation preceded Pelosi in Syria by a few days. But you didn't hear boo from the Bush administration, or the media, about them. Why? Because that fact would kill the great story that Nancy Pelosi is a partisan boob.

Your media. Stenographers. The only difference between the mainstream media and Jeff Gannon is their rates.
