Independent Sources was pleased to see that the majority of blogs that we surveyed had resisted taking the low road and pointing out the obvious irony concerning Senator Clinton’s comments about the video game “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,” which contains sexual imagery (including oral sex) that could be accessed by young teens.

 ”We should all be deeply disturbed that a game which now permits the simulation of lewd sexual acts in an interactive format with highly realistic graphics has fallen into the hands of young people across the country,” Clinton wrote in a letter to the head of the Federal Trade Commission.

Bloggers might have been tempted to note that the oral sex escapades of Senator Clinton’s husband Bill probably did more to introduce the concept of oral sex to teens and pre-teens than any video game (or porn star) ever has or ever could. Independent Sources is glad that they did not.

A Senior Administration Official at Independent Sources issued this statement:

We are adamantly opposed to any blogger who chooses to use the Internet for disseminating negative, salacious  stories. The improper activities of one’s spouse, no matter how lewd or demeaning, should not affect one’s career or standing. Furthermore, what credible blog or news organization would attack a public figure through their spouse? We at Independent Sources issue a public condemnation to any and all of those who do.

Instead, see how the “real” media handle stories like this:

• Click here to see how the Los Angeles Times covers topics that it thinks should be ignored.
