Dan Abrahms covers this story. I watched Huckabee deny Murray's column on The TODAY Show the other day, but ABC news also carried the same charges that we ran here.
Murray Waas used something that our media lacks, shoe leather and that wonderful practice of investigative reporting that brought more light to Huckabee's monstrous antics in releasing the murderous rapist Wayne Dumond because of pressure from the right wing noise machine when he was Governor.
