Media Matters - Wash. Post opinion page asked congressional Republicans -- but not Dems -- "whether federal budget earmarks are defensible"

No Democratic members of Congress were quoted in a Washington Post opinion article asking "members of Congress and others whether federal budget earmarks are defensible"; the three members of Congress whose responses were listed are all Republicans. This is consistent with a pattern in the media of portraying earmarks as a practice unique to Democrats.
