A June 9 CNSNews.com article by Fred Lucas uncritically repeated claims by Rep. Darrell Issa that the Obama administration “violated the Hatch Act that restricts federal employees from using their official authority to influence or interfere in an election” through alleged job offers to Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff in exchange for not running in Senate races.
Lucas failed to tell his readers that legal experts have disputed Issa’s claim that ther Hatch Act was violated.
CNS has previously failed to tell readers the entire truth about the Sestak-Romanoff “scandal,” including the fact that the Bush and Reagan administrations engaged in the exact same behavior.
