John Conyers not only wants to protect Islam from criticism, he is making barking mad criticism of the Mainstream Media for not adequately covering the mistakes of the Bush administration.

"The vast majority of the mainstream media is not only unwilling to accurately report on the failings of the administration, but the few who do have fallen victim to scapegoating and retribution," said Conyers, a Democrat. "We have turned from breaking stories like Watergate and the Iran—Contra scandal to celebrity journalism."

The White House press corps had conniption fits, and accused Scott McClellan of wanting to be the editor of Newsweek for suggesting editorial approaches. Where are they when Conyers tries to get them to do more than already do to criticize Bush.
