Topic: Newsmax
Faced with writing a story about Sen. Robert Byrd's record-breaking Senate tenure and presumably torn between his softball tendencies and NewsMax's policy of pointing out Byrd's 60-year-past KKK affiliation at every possible opportunity, NewsMax's Dave Eberhart chooses ... the softball route.
Eberhart's June 12 article on Byrd doesn't even mention the KKK until the 19th paragraph, and even noted that "Byrd has more than once apologized for and explained his misdirected zeal." He even likens Byrd to Lou Gherig.
Yeah, we couldn't believe it, either.
