Objectivity in the Afternoon

It is always great to get the Washington Post’s Afternoon Edition: Politics e-mail. There were six articles featured last night. Here are brief descriptions of five.

An article about Republican Meg Whitman in which she denies knowing that her housekeeper was an illegal immigrant.

An article about Republican Christine O’Donnell in which she denies claiming to have studied at Oxford as supposedly stated in an on-line profile that she denies posting.

An article which describes James O’Keefe as the “conservative activist” who “brought down ACORN” as a result of “heavily edited videos.”

An article on Glen Beck which claims that he “is not the most popular guy at Fox.”

An article critical of Republican Jim DeMint.

Oh, and the Quote of the Day is from “an unidentified "constituent", featured in an ad by Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La)) that attacks Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) over his involvement in the "DC Madam" scandal.

Isn’t journalism inspiring?

Loving It….Not
Mc Donald’s Corp. has warned federal regulators that it could drop its health insurance plan for nearly 30,000 hourly restaurant workers unless regulators waive a new requirement of the U.S. health overhaul.

McDonald's move is the latest indication of possible unintended consequences from the health overhaul. Dozens of companies have taken charges against earnings—totaling more than $1 billion—over a tax change in prescription-drug benefits for retirees. (WSJ, 9/30/10)

Could it be even possible that this is the reason that no Democrat running for re-election touts their support of Obama’s health care plan?
