Seriously, enough with the coverage of the federal prosecutor firings.
Being the astute political observer I am I initially withheld judgement while I awaited evidence of either wrong doing, or exoneration for the Whitehouse. However, after weeks of sensational coverage referring to the firings as a conspiracy, a scandal. and a plethora of other damning terms I am disgusted. Provide some shred of evidence that the firings were in some way nefarious, and I will stop complaining. I don't normally decry media bias, but the current coverage is so amazingly over the top I can't sit idly by without mentioning it. Sure their is suspicion, sure their is the appearance of possibly questionable decisions made, but as of yet their has been no document produced that proves "scandalous" behavior.
This just appears to be another Democratic witch hunt further perpetrated by the brazenly obvious intentions of the media to nail the Whitehouse. This is just like coverage of the documents about Bush's military service that were later found to be forgeries. The media salivates at any attempt to cast aspersions on the administration, and that is not even close to responsible journalism.
I would like to reiterate that I am not saying that nothing wrong has happened. Maybe the prosecutors were let go because they were about to unearth something that the Pub's felt was damaging. That is completely possible. However, at this stage we don't have any evidence that this is the case. The prosecutors serve at the whim of the president, and he can dismiss them at any time for whatever reason he likes. Maybe he didn't approve of their stance on an issue he felt was important (like stem cell research, or federal funding of religious groups), and decided to let them go. The fact is we don't know what happened, and it is absolutely despicable that the media would use such language in their coverage.
