Actually, I was not even addressing the liberal media (I did include FOX, BTW). I may be missing a nuance tho, but all that happened on Monday was that the Republicans took off the table the revision to allow an indicted member to maintain a leadership post. If that was the gotcha, then I am saying they (the media) outed them back in early December.
Part 2 of the issue was the 50% rule, which did pass. Is there a part 3?
