From WP Congressional reporter
Shailagh Murray's chat:
Shailagh Murray: Here's a bit of media self criticism. I'm not prepared to say that lots more lobbyists and/or lawmakers are greedy crooks. But I do think that the crusading spirit of many newspapers has been more or less snuffed out, either because the newspapers have disappeared, or because they have other priorities. For many members of Congress there's no local reporter keeping track of their golf buddies, legislative interests, campaign contributors, etc. They are never scrutinized. So who knows what they're up to? How many of you had huge parties in high school when your parents went out of town?
