Why, oh why, can't we have a better press corps? Fact vs. fiction edition

Our liberal media at work.

Greg Sargent has a run down here of the aspects of Sen. Allen's personal background he's not releasing records on -- the arrest records from the early seventies and the sealed divorce records down in Albemale County. Following the Allen campaign, the Post today devoted a full length article to scenes in Webb's novels -- stuff that's been in print for years and only became a story when the Allen campaign released a press release. They've tried on the Allen divorce stuff, even had a reporter out West on it for week or more. But apparently they won't discuss it since they can't get access to the records.


What some candidate wrote in some novels years ago is worth more reportorial shoe leather to the Post than his opponent's arrest records and divorce records. Yea.

It's this sort of thing -- along with Karl Rove's certainty regarding "his" math -- that has me less than confidant nine days before the election.
