What is up with Jan Moller?

Moller spent much of the Gubernatorial election writing stories which read like Jindal campaign fliers and is now apparently doing the same thing for Mary Landrieu.

Kennedy flip-flops on bill for farmers

BATON ROUGE -- One month before Election Day is typically not the best time for a Louisiana political candidate to lash out against legislation designed to help the state's hurricane-stricken farmers.

But that is what state Treasurer John Kennedy did last week when he sided with a conservative Oklahoma senator who single-handedly derailed a bill that sought to provide $1.1 billion in disaster aid to farmers in Louisiana and other states affected by recent natural disasters.

Kennedy's opposition to the bill -- which he now says he supports -- appears to have handed his Democratic opponent in the Senate race, Mary Landrieu, an easy campaign issue in the weeks leading up to the Nov. 4 election.

It's not that I'm inclined to disagree with the point being made here, it's just that Moller tends to report political stories in an unmistakably loaded tone. Readers expect to see this in editorials or on blogs where the author's bias is more or less in the open. We usually don't expect to see it in the reporting.... unless the reporting is being done by Jan Moller.
