When a local newspaper runs an AP story in which our own congressional Representative has a major part you would think that he would get a mention in the headline. But not the Tri-City Herald. On the front page of the Thursday October 4th paper is the innocuous headline, "Congress will keep health bill alive". Even on the jump the headline is about Bush. Yet a third of the article is about Governor Gregoire taking Doc Hastings to task over his no-vote on the SCHIP bill. But the editors of the Herald didn't think any of that significant enough to mention in a headline.
When is this newspaper going to stop carrying water for morally dubious Republicans? Your Congressman was the only member of the state delegation to vote with Bush and against children. But your local newspaper buries it. Shame.
