The Associated Editorialists

Another unbiased, impartial report from the good folks at the Associated Press:

Republicans on Saturday blocked the Senate from considering a bill next week that would nearly double federal aid to help the poor pay heating and air-conditioning bills.

Although a dozen Senate Republicans support the measure, most voted with GOP leaders who would rather spend the time trumpeting their call to expand offshore oil drilling before Congress takes six weeks off for vacation and the presidential nominating conventions.

It doesn’t get much more blatant than that.

Kudos to AP for doing its part to drive the media’s credibility into the ground.
