The front page of today’s Post carries a story by reporter Juliet Eilperin titled “Fundraising Focus Earns DeLay Wealth of Influence.” The Post investigation of DeLay’s PACs is completely borrowed from “a public interest group — Washington-based Democracy 21.” The Post story did not include the usual description of Democracy 21 as a “group that favors changes in the campaign finance laws,” in other words, a “group that thinks all of DeLay’s fundraising tactics should be illegal.”

Not to be made illegal: Democracy 21’s donations from liberal foundations like The Pew Charitable Trusts, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Joyce Foundation and the Open Society Institute.
