No Longer Even Pretending

I happened to watch both NBC Nightly News and part of Lehrer News Hour tonight and - through story after story - I noticed that everything was presented this way:

* How conservatives want things to go
* How things are going
* How moderate Republicans may differ from that
* Why this isn't making Mr. Bush happy (and that seems to matter most)
* How much the nut wing doesn't like moderate Republicans differing from that
* What the nut quotient will do about those moderate Republicans

Notice anything missing there, like:

* Democrats
* Anyone else who's not a conservative, a Republican?
* How this affects MOST Americans?
* Why this is a bad idea?

They're not even pretending that anyone else other than a small section of extreme GOP matters anymore. I find that not simply disappointing, but downright scary.
