Conyers Misses Something

Representative Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, has called for hearings concerning the media turning into "celebrity journalism". This is telling as to what his problem with the media may be:

"The vast majority of the mainstream media is not only unwilling to accurately report on the failings of the administration, but the few who do have fallen victim to scapegoating and retribution," said Conyers, a Democrat. "We have turned from breaking stories like Watergate and the Iran-Contra scandal to celebrity journalism."

Emphasis mine. I believe Congressman Conyers left out some other stories broken by the media, namely the Lewinsky/Impeachment scandal, Travelgate and my personal favorite; Whitewater. I think what Mr. Conyers is really upset about is the fact that every media contrived scandal against President Bush has yet to stick.
