The networks are up to their old tricks
ABC has reported that House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill) is under investigation for bribery.
However, the Department of Justice has responded by issuing a statement that, in fact, Speaker Hastert is not the subject of any such investigation.
Meanwhile, Speaker Hastert's lawyers have sent this letter to ABC.
Lacks the finesse of Rathergate, but it seems to be the same general sort of thing. Doesn't seem to happen to Democrats, for some reason.

ABC seems to have changed their story to Hastert being "in the mix", which technically brings the story in line with the DOJ statement that he isn't the SUBJECT.
Does it? What does "in the mix" mean, anyway? There is not doubt, of course, as to what it implies.
