Josh Marshall is Debunking the AP/REID/Abramoff Story on his site.

His whole front page is full of it...check it out after his first blub:

(February 09, 2006 -- 08:59 PM EST // link)

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.

1. Of course action is the key! If there was no Quid Pro Quo, then
Reid is clean!

The problem is that I had to find this out on a web article instead of on the nightly news! The majority of people WILL NOT ever see that artile!

Harry needs to get his face on TV and get his side out to the public!
