Will Media Call Out Steve Kagen

To all media outlets. Received the following code of ethics about journalism concerning Steve Kagen.
The Society of Professional Journalism, in its code of ethics says:

Journalist Seek Truth and Report It
Journalists should be honest, fair and courageous in gathering, reporting and interpreting information.

Journalists should: — Test the accuracy of information from all sources and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error. Deliberate distortion is never permissible.

Here is the story from the Hill.
"Mich. Democrat: Pelosi 'not happy with me'
By Bob Cusack - 10/27/09 01:30 PM ET



Rep. Bart Stupak said Speaker Pelosi is not pleased with his effort to change abortion-related provisions in the healthcare bill being crafted by the House.

During an interview on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" show, Stupak (D-Mich.) said he is undeterred in trying to ensure that taxpayer dollars do not pay for abortions. Stupak, who opposes abortion rights, acknowledged that some in his party are upset with his public campaign to change the bill.

"The Speaker is not happy with me," Stupak said."

At the August listening sessions Congressman Steve Kagen said abortion is not in the Health care bill. If it's not in the bill, why is Bart Stupak trying to take it out? Does that mean Kagen is for abortion?

Will someone in the media ask him why he lied to the constituents of the 8th district.  Will they give cover to Kagen again? Will someone use this for a campaign ad? Who knows. I don't get paid for marketing.
