From Media Matters:
By comparison, CNN has aired only 65 words about a land deal in which House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) made nearly $2 million, a story which was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times on June 15. By contrast, the Reid land deal first broke a week ago, when the Associated Press reported on October 11 that Reid had made $700,000 "on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years."
Hastert's property appreciated in value after he earmarked taxpayer funding for a highway near the property
The story about Reid was John Solomon's hatchet job. If you've been looking, you know that Solomon is known as an open market for oppo researchers, and not too strong on fact-checking. He also seems to have a woody for Reid.
The interesting part is that the MSM have given Hastert a free ride. They're also handling him with kid gloves over Foleygate.
"Liberal" bias? How about this: the press is just as corrupt as their Republican handlers.
