The FEC and Bloggers

The Washington Post brings us this objective article on “crack[ing] down on bloggers who write about politics.”

I counted 11 paragraphs in favor of a federal government crackdown on those nasty bloggers who apparently still believe in the First Amendment (naughty, naughty bloggers) and six opposed.

Meanwhile, an article expressing concern (by “some observers,” natch) that the Washington Post does not carry a disclaimer citing its political affiliations was nowhere to be found…
