Ahh, the quest for balance. As we noted below, today's AP story about Sen. Harry Reid and Jack Abramoff devotes most of its space to Abramoff's alleged attempts to lobby Reid on behalf of the Marianas Islands' sweatshops owners. Only, the piece fails to mention that Reid didn't support the position of Abramoff's clients.

Now MSNBC is running that same article with this headline "Top Democrat Reid met often with Abramoff."

Needless to say, the article, flawed as it may be in the ways I describe below, makes no claims that the two men have ever met.
