I hesitate to say the new guy couldn&#8217;t be any worse, because that prediction can backfire, but it&#8217;s a good bet he&#8217;s not as despicable a human being as Spitzer, simply because very few people are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media bias is seldom this obvious.
