Howie Kurtz<\/strong>, the media writer for the Washington Post<\/em>, today uncovers<\/a> a fishy relationship between a journalism giant and a liberal blog. While Kurtz didn’t make much wind about it, he reveals within an item about GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee<\/strong> that the Huffington Post and ABC News have teamed up to report the news.<\/p>\n

“ABC, working with the Web site, interviewed a former parole board member who said Huckabee had pressed the panel to release the convict, Wayne Dumond<\/strong>,” Kurtz writes regarding a well-referenced story the Huffington Post published last week.<\/p>\n

The quote raises an important question: How common is it for an apparently nonpartisan news source to team up with an admittedly liberal Web site in reporting a news item? Isn’t this a case of liberal media bias at its worst?<\/p>\n

Also raising questions about the news relationship, Kurtz quotes Huckabee as saying he’s “amazed” that ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross<\/strong> ignored information he provided to him.<\/p>\n
