[Writing from Alaska]

Cheers, Sen. Byrd!  What a great letter.  I remember him on the Senate floor speaking out against the Iraq War.  When son & I heard on the news yesterday that he saw a way to pass HCR with reconciliation, we cheered.  He is the expert on the Constitution and Senate rules, so this goes a long way to support action on the stalled legislation.

“I believed then, as now, that the Senate should debate the health reform bill under regular rules, which it did,” Byrd wrote. “The entire Senate- or House- passed health care bill could not and would not pass muster under the current reconciliation rules, which were established under my watch.” “Yet a bill structured to reduce deficits by, for example, finding savings in Medicare or lowering health care costs, may be consistent with the Budget Act, and appropriately considered under reconciliation.”

That's that liberal media, for you.

That is the whole misconception and deliberate misleading misinformation right there in a nut shell.  There is no such thing as liberal media.  With the exception of a few online websites devoted towards the left of the political spectrum, I have not seen anything resembling "left wing" or "liberal bias" in print news or on the television. 

You have lazy, can't be bothered to research and report the fact journalists.
You have crazyassed rightwingnut case spin doctors masquerading as journalism.

It is not often to find anyone reporting the news without right leaning bias.  Maddow seems to be an exception, but rather than being an honest and true "liberal" she's more of an equal opportunity slap the idiot kind of gal.  Just these days more often its the Republicans need slapping than Democrats.

imho
