David Corn: Media framing of the debt ceiling debate in Washington, DC, has been unfair.
Corn: In horse-race style, much of the press has covered this episode as a political battle of two opposing forces.

He says the White House failed to establish GOP recklessness as the dominant narrative of the debt crisis.
He asks: Why isn't the media's story of the GOP playing chicken with the economy? The GOP even admits that it's their game, he says, and it's not entirely the media.
