Blago Impeachment a Poltical Witch Hunt

The Pay for Play Scandal Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, has proven to be another embarrassment for the American News Media. Regardless of the final outcome, the media can be judged in contempt of journalistic integrity regarding its rush to judgment of a man, who as of this date, has not been charged with any crime. From sheltering President-Elect Barack Obama and staffers, such as Rom Emanuel, along with Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., from any scrutiny, so-called journalists have thrown everything but the Kitchen Sink at embattled Governor. Meanwhile, the Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been unable to amass enough evidence to file charges against the Governor, even after having Blago arrested a month ago. Neither the media, the President-Elect or Congress has been able to persuade the Governor to step down much less block his selection to replace Obama in the Senate, Roland Burris from being seated. Yet, the focus stays on Blagojevich, even absent any formal charges being filed in court. Finally, the Illinois legislature impeached Blagojevich, but didn't even address the Governor's supposed co-conspirator Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s role in the "pay for Play" Scandal. By giving one IL public Servant a pass, but impeaching another, the IL. House lended credit to Blago's claim that the entire impeachment was politically motivated.
