An honest reporter

In contrast to Jennfer Loven, Charles Hurt appears to be an honest reporter. Of course, his story shows why honest reportiung doesn't work:

The fence came to symbolize what many Democrats said was an unforgiving bill. They said the fence proved that Republicans harbored a hostility toward immigrants.
But by yesterday, more than 20 Democrats had switched their position to support the border fence -- including several who face tough elections this fall. . . . After the vote yesterday, Rep. Alan B. Mollohan, a West Virginia Democrat who also switched his vote, was waiting in an out-of-the-way hallway beside a bank of elevators. When asked by a reporter why he switched his vote, Mr. Mollohan first responded, "How did you find me?"


And then there's this, which deserves a "truer words" heading:

"The time to address the border-security emergency is now, before Congress leaves for the November election," said House Speaker J. Dennis Haster.
