WSJ on 'Groping Allegations'
The Wall Street Journal carries a story today about the LA Times and how the Arnold groping stories are damaging its reputation. The tone of the story is that the LA Times had a very bad reputation in the 1990s, then it hired a new editor who recruited a lot of New York Times people, but now the LAT has gone and blown it with the Arnold coverage.

The lede by the way, refers to the "'groping' allegations" although it acknowledges deep in the story that the candidate has admitted at least some of the incidents. So when do they stop becoming "allegations," WSJ? And why is "groping" in quotes?

My point, which I made a few days ago, is not whether Californians should vote for this guy - but that most media outlets are choosing to gloss over just how crude some of his remarks were.
