[Picture worth 1,000 words: Voyeur's homepage tells the story]
I watched USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Washington Post as the Republican National Committee mini-scandal unfolded yesterday over a nearly $2,000 night at faux bondage club Voyeur in Los Angeles. USAT was on the ball early. But the WSJ appeared to be the last one to post a story, and their coverage seems anemic -- especially alongside the Post's Dan Eggen. That slow-mo coverage adds fuel to the perception that the Journal's Washington Bureau is now tinged with partisan politics.
But the biggest winner is the club: Talk about free publicity!
