Political reporters John Heilemann and Mark Halperin have a new book out about the 2008 campaign season. DRJ at Patterico's Pontifications lists some of the major bombshells in the book, then notes,
Imagine how many Washington campaign insiders and political reporters knew about these scandals but managed to keep them bottled up before the election. Except for the Sarah Palin stories, of course. The Palin reports were widely discussed by journalists, but stories that would damage the top Democratic candidates went largely unreported.
But there was no media bias covering Barack Obama. Naaah.
