NYT covers for Bill Delahunt; Boston Herald… won’t.

First, the NYT (via AoSHQ).  While discussing the latest insanity* coming from Amy Bishop (a ‘herpes bomb,’ apparently), the Times manages to discuss Bishop’s shooting of her brother without:

  • Mentioning just what political circles the Bishops were active in;
  • Mentioning just who the prosecutor was that dropped the charges; and
  • Mentioning just where that prosecutor is now.

The answers are, of course: Democratic political circles; William Delahunt; and representing the MA-10 Congressional district.  It’s a shame that the Times decided that such information was superfluous to requirements, but it’s not like who-what-when-where-why is all that important, surely?

Meanwhile, the Boston Herald is gearing up for a full-court press on Delahunt: Continue reading NYT covers for Bill Delahunt; Boston Herald… won’t.

PS: Actually, no, it isn’t all about Scott Brown.  It’s about Scott Brown, Ted Kennedy, Amy Bishop, Hugo Chavez… and most importantly, William Delahunt, who apparently isn’t really used to actually having to work for his re-elections.

The poor fellow.
