It would take more bandwidth than readers would tolerate for me to list all the stories in the NYT, the Washington Post, and Slate; and the segments on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, CNBC, Bloomberg, NPR, CBS, et. al, ad infinitum that have breathlessly covered the Thomas story, all implying with greater or lesser degrees of emphasis that Justice Thomas is, at best, a sleaze.

How many of these outlets have covered the Sotomayor story, which, if anything, presents a far clearer case of potential conflict of interest than anything now being said about Justice Thomas and Harlan Crow? Well, one of them. To its credit, CNN, in a piece published about 15 hours ago. It’s worth the read.

And the others? …

What used to be known as journalism has been so debased by partisanship and left-wing bias that it has become unrecognizable.
