In America, as a free country, we depend on our media to give us the whole story, That seems to be one of the things that did not happen in the last election cycle. The New Haven Independent reports on an interview that Tom Scott did with Chris Dodd (which he taped on October 29 of this year) dealing with the sweetheart mortgage Chris Dodd got from Countrywide (as head of the Senate Banking Committee he was supposed to be regulating Countrywide) which was never aired. When Clear Channel's regional manager was asked why the interview never aired he declined to comment other than to say, "That's something that happened behind closed doors." To hear the interview, follow the link above. The link to the interview is about half way down the story.
There is a lot of discussion right now about bringing back the 'fairness doctrine'. It seems to me that if the media does its job, the fairness will take care of itself.
