Hat tip to Talking Points:

Are we to assume that Democrats who have also received donations from Abramoff's "clients" are free of tainted money?

MSM wants you to think so.

If you read the basic misinformation, you will note that, while no one has been named or publicly charged in the investigation, the MSM "suggests" several Republicans will be charged. 

Their proof?

"....Democrats are trying to link Abramoff with Republicans. This is like when Republicans tried to link James Carville to Democrats. Link him to Republicans? He's been a professional Republican and major GOP power-player for a quarter-century.

All the "factual claims" [noted by Talking Points] "appear to be willful distortions, or statements with omissions so great as to be meant to confuse."

"How can the public know what's happening in their government when the reporters of the news seem so bent on misleading them?"

Enter the Fourth Estate, the blogosphere:  guardians of the "guardians of government."  Hopefully, the role of the blogosphere will neither too little nor too late.
