Foggo's departure is pretty standard stuff, apparently

CNN does a fantastic job of regurgitating the GOP talking points on this newest scandal. I hadn't realized that Foggo, who was plucked from obscurity at the CIA to take the #3 job, was just following standard procedure and leaving. Gosh. Here I thought it had something to do with his old friend and convicted criminal Wilkes. Josh Marshall raised the question yesterday about the story lines out there and this CNN article seems to be more of the same. Why does it look like the media is helping the GOP with this scandal, providing them with plenty of cover when it's obvious it just doesn't add up?

Goss announced his resignation Friday after what intelligence sources described as a power struggle with National Intelligence Director John Negroponte.

Intelligence officials said Foggo's departure would be "pretty standard" because the executive director "tends to follow the CIA director's career trajectory."
