Does Inquirer have its head in sand? (US Attorney Scandal)

[modrepub]

Considering the intense coverage that The Inquirer has devoted to the federal indictment of State Sen. Vince Fumo and considering that the political influences exerted upon U.S. attorneys are now a major national news story, it is odd that The Inquirer has been unable or unwilling to try connecting those dots

<snip>

Meehan's investigation of Fumo provided fodder for two of Rick Santorum's negative attack ads against Bob Casey during their U.S. Senate campaign last fall. This is the same Santorum for whom Meehan once worked as campaign manager.

In western Pennsylvania, U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan has pursued high-profile investigations of prominent Democrats, but not Republicans. She conducted a long investigation of former Pittsburgh Mayor Tom Murphy that crippled him in his final term of office.

Some interesting fodder...are there other examples???

1. Yeah.

In NJ, people are starting to ask questions about Chris Christie's subpoena that landed on Bob Menendez at a critical time in the last Senate race.

Issued with great fanfare, it came to nothing.

2. "The Inquirer has been unable or unwilling to try connecting those dots"

My guess is on unwilling.
