The coverage by mainstream media is some of the worst I have ever seen: Key facts, readily available in official government documents and Congressional testimony, continue to be ignored, and Administration’s claims that critics are being discriminatory are seldom challenged.
    In fact, the Dubai firm, a state-owned operation, received more generous treatment from (…)

    MSNBC Countdown provides analysis from David Sirotaan who is an expert on big money’s influence on government:
    This is not a scandal about one deal with one country. What’s especially motivating the President in his threat to issue a veto is the fact that he knows that if Congress is allowed to override this [deal] a precedent is set.
