Editorializing in a news story

Check out the editorializing inside this AP news story that appeared in McClatchy's Kansas City Star:

Republicans on Saturday blocked the Senate from considering a bill next week that would nearly double federal aid to help the poor pay heating and air-conditioning bills.

Although a dozen Senate Republicans support the measure, most voted with GOP leaders who would rather spend the time trumpeting their call to expand offshore oil drilling before Congress takes six weeks off for vacation and the presidential nominating conventions.

Nice hack job there, AP writer Matt Yancey.
