How the media is covering HCR court challenges

Steve Benen shows how the media is giving a lot more attention to the two court victories of health care reform opponents than the two victories of the Obama administration. Steve asks why? Simple answer. As my mom told me once, I think she was quoting Walter Cronkite, "no one is interested in the cat that didn't get stuck in the tree." Meaning, in this case, while an Obama administration victory in court is nice, a defeat is sensational (meaning, creating a sensation). I'm not sure it's fair, but there's just not as much of a "wow" factor to a judge upholding health care reform as a judge striking it down. Again, I'm just speaking with my news gut, not any overall sense of what is fair. Bad news is simply more interesting.
