Even most of the Democrat news media, which is most of it, including the biggies in New York, D.C. and Los Angeles, pride themselves on not running the big scoop until all of the facts are in hand. And many of them won’t ever run a story that relies on anonymous sources.
So, as Pro Publica points out, Politico’s hatchet job on Herman Cain broke new ground even for a Democrat news outlet making its usual attack on a Republican candidate for president. The hatchet job in question was as full of holes as a rural Texas stop sign peppered with birdshot buckshot. Not that the political assassins of Politico are likely to be embarrassed, you understand.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Bird shot won’t penetrate an ordinary sign. Well, maybe if you are standing real close to it. I’m sure you are really thinking buckshot, not bird shot.
But I get your meaning.
Oops. I had buckshot, then changed it. Dumb. Been a while since I used either one.
Perhaps, but an increasingly large number of us are not enamored of the Democrat news media which is carrying their messages. So far, without any proof but their loud voices.
And none of this is any more than what Clinton was accused of and survived—except that the Democrat news media was more inclined to give a fellow Democrat a pass.
