This may simply be a case that the MSM cannot afford to ignore. It would make them hypocrites to do so. By calling for Reids replacement, they may seek to take the high road.

Although quite liberal and therefore biased, the majority of reporters still TRY to be unbiased, at least in THEIR minds. The result of this is usually laughable, but so ingrained is the liberalism, they cannot see it.

When something like this comes out, however, the cognitive dissonance may simply be too great, even for them. Calling for Reid's head may be their way of saying "See? We are unbiased, we went after a Dem!"

I watched Brian Willliams last night just to see how much they would talk about this....It got maybe 15 seconds after 15 minutes of Foley.

The drive-by media will give the short schrift and move on.

I used to think like you about 3 years ago but it's very naive (saying it with a smile on my face)

There are no morals or scruples in the press. If somebody is changing course, it's because they see an opportunity for their career - nothing else.

The Indonesian guys that do the grounds keeping where I live have more morals than those in the press. Nothing to get excited about , but just understand it.

While I hope you're right, I'm getting pretty ticked that the Repbulicans aren't doing that particular job. Yah, It's all fine and dandy to be a "gentleman" and "above the fray"-- we all know what happens to 'nice guys'.
