Why isn't media holding Jim Webb accountable?

Where is the missing-in-action drive-by media?

Why aren't they asking the hard questions of Jim Webb, questions that they would have followed up on if Webb had run on a Republican ticket? Why have there been negative page-one stories ad nauseum about George Allen but barely a peep about Webb?

Where's the outrage about Webb riding around a black L.A. neighborhood yelling racial slurs and pointing a gun at blacks? Where's the investigative reporting about that incident?

Why hasn't some reporter not talked with Webb's classmates from Annapolis? There's one right here in Augusta County who has written a letter to the editor of the local newspaper - and not in support of Jim Webb - but they haven't printed it yet. Why not?

Why hasn't the press talked with Ollie North who was another of Webb's classmates?

Let's see the media hold Webb accountable for what he does - or doesn't - stand for.
