Over at The right-wing liberal, DJ lists three rather embarassing examples of how the Virginia Main Stream Media are simply clueless about what just happened in the special session on transportation:

The Free Lance-Black Hole does it again!
The FLBH editorial is full of errors (and I’m being charitable, otherwise I’d call them “lies”), but the main thrust is that they simply can’t handle the fact that the House Republicans came up with a plan that ties transportation funding in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads to transportation activity in those regions, provides more money to the two regions than the Democrats’ statewide plan, and does them both without raising taxes.

MSM special session follies: the Roanoke Times
No one is “forcing the state to divert more and more funds from new construction” – except for Governor Kaine, who wants the money to go to his pet projects first…Because the House Republicans refused to knuckle under, he and his MSM friends have gone ballistic.  That the Roanoke Times has joined them is no surprise; neither is it a surprise that they did it in the same juvenile way everyone else has outside of the Washington Post.

Dear Richmond Times-Dispatch, please DON’T recycle columns
Normally, I’m very happy to see a Bob Marshall column in a Virginia newspaper.  However, I do think the Richmond Times-Dispatch fumbled the ball on Marshall’s latest column.  Why do I sat that?  Because the column – which the RTD touted as a post-mortem on the special session – was actually written before the sessions pivotal last day, and I know that because it ran on the morning of July 9 (before the session re-convened) in the Daily Press.
