Virginia BlogNark: Humorous But Misleading

·

The Richmond Times-Dispatch, Raising Kaine and Not Larry Sabato all go after Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA-10th) for using taxpayer money to "pay people to look at porn." (Lowell of Raising Kaine, it should be noted, works for Frank Wolf's opposition in the upcoming 2008 elections.) While definitely humorous, it is also a misleading distortion of the intention of the Justice Department program. As the Times-Dispatch itself goes on to later explain (after the sensationalistic opening), the program actually "collects and reviews complaints about obscenity on the Internet." Whether that is worth taxpayer funds or not is debatable, but it is certainly a far cry from the image painted by the words "paying people to look at porn."
