Why, Fox of course! Read the comments after the article. Those Fox-watching Obama-haters have it all figured out -- Obama apparently kills people, is an "inveterate liar," and every other smear you can throw at him. One very good post pointed out the inherent problem with this type of so-called "reporting;" it kills thought. It suppresses curiousity, and merely proved to reinforce the readers' already-held biases.

Analysis: Obama Inquiry Has Closed Loop Quality
The inquiry into whether President-elect Barack Obama's staff had any inappropriate contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was bound to meet its pre-conceived conclusion.

President-Elect Barack Obama's inquiry into "inappropriate contacts" between his staff and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich over his vacated U.S. Senate seat has the appearance of a closed loop -- the conclusion came before the inquiry.

The conclusion was: there were no inappropriate contacts.

The inquiry found: Imagine, no inappropriate contacts.

The inquiry began on Dec. 11 and ended Dec. 15. That's right, it took all of four days.

The Obama transition staff never explained what "inappropriate contacts" meant until releasing its report Tuesday, despite numerous press questions.

"Inappropriate" in Obama transition-speak can be defined two ways: "unethical" or "discussing an explicit quid pro quo"
