This Cantor-McHenry complaint is fascinating from the media-bias angle. The media’s Tom DeLay bashers had a fit about DeLay’s Abramoff-lobbied coziness with low wages on the Northern Marianas. PBS’s Bill Moyers show “Now” (handed off to the suitably smarmy David Brancaccio) devoted a show in 2005 to how DeLay was supporting “virtual slavery” in the Pacific. The slavery charge came not only from Brancaccio, but from Rep. George Miller — Pelosi’s across-the-bay neighbor.
Will PBS and George Miller throw a fit about the “virtual slavery” left untouched in Tuna Land?
