Conservative Journalists Rip Old Media For Light Scrutiny of Democratic Congress

Panelists and the moderator of a panel at the Young America's Foundation national conservative student conference on Thursday decried the old media's reluctance to continue to keep Reps John Murtha (D-PA) William Jefferson (D-LA) under the microscope for alleged ethical lapses. Moderator Jason Mattera, of Young America's Foundation, and panelists Kathryn Lopez of National Review Online, Mary Katherine Ham of Washington Examiner, and A.J. Rice of Talk Radio Network decried what they view as mainstream liberal bias for not giving adequate press coverage of Reps Murtha and Jefferson.
