*** begin quote ***

While network correspondents complain about the unfairness of independent advertising, they might ponder the unfairness of their habitual tendency to omit or downplay bad news for Team Obama, especially in the crucial last weeks of a campaign. Consider some of the latest stories that would have drawn much more attention and media hostility if the shoe was on the Republican foot:

■ Oil spill incompetence or dishonesty.

■ Delayed Democrat ethics trials.

■ More John Edwards subpoenas.

■ Stimulus dollars for the dead.

■ Big setback in trying terror suspects.

Just business as usual in the District of Corruption.
