To anyone who lived through the media feeding frenzy of the 1990s, during which the nation's leading news organizations spent the better part of a decade destroying their own credibility by relentlessly hyping a series of non-scandals, the past few days, in which the media have tried to shoehorn Barack Obama into the Rod Blagojevich scandal, have been sickeningly familiar. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer announced yesterday that “some are calling this Obama's first presidential scandal.” It isn’t. There is no evidence he has done anything wrong. This is not Obama’s first presidential scandal – but it shows signs of becoming the first media scandal of the Obama presidency.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but like I said, " it's well worth the read."
