Title: Another Example Of Media Bias
Post by: AUTailgatingRules on March 10, 2008, 06:15:43 PM
It is so blatant that it is almost funny.  I read 5-6 articles today from various newspapers trying to find out if the New York Gov that got caught in the prostitution sting was a dem or a repub.  Not one single article until this one even mentioned it:

Had he been a republican, every story would have started out like this:  Republican Governor Caught In Prostitution Sting

I'm sure it was just an oversight. 

He would have been referred to as "Republican client #9"

No...every story would have started:

Self-Righteous, Arrogant, Moralistic, Former NY AG, Republican Governor Caught in Prostitution Sting (Governor Recently endorsed long-time friend Republican Senator McCain...McCain silent on possible indictment...)

What, oh what, will poor little Hillary do now?!  She's lost an irreplaceable super-delegate and a prominent endorser:
