Latest McClatchy embarrassment: scrutinizing Levi Johnston but not Bill Richardson
McClatchy must obsessed with Levi Johnson, given the volume of stories it has published on Sarah Palin’s future son-in-law.
Most recently McClatchy published a piece reporting a claim that Johnston’s participation in an apprentice program might be unethical or illegal.
Just this week McClatchy published stories on Levi Johnston and his family here and here. Back in September a McClatchy columnist objected to news organizations that applied the word “fiance” to Levi Johnston. Also from September, McClatchy published the important news that Levi calls himself “an Alaska redneck.”
Serious people might ask, where were the McClatchy investigations on Bill Richardson? Richardson stepped down from consideration for a top cabinet position yesterday, citing a federal corruption probe that has reached Richardson himself.
