Regarding Janklow and the media coverage. What liberal media?

[Robin Hood]

I have noticed that since Janklow has made headlines. No media has reffered to him as Republican congressman Janklow. Rather I have seen over and over again janklow refereed to as Congressman Janklow.

If you recall Gary Condit, he was always reffered to as Democratic congressman Condit, over and over again to infinitum. Despite the fact that he was guilty before proven innocent. They ruined that man and his family's life, and then quietly moved on to some other bullshit story. The press still owes the Condit family an apology.

And here is this scumbag Janklow obviously guilty of murder and they consistently fail to mention that this asshole murderer is a Republican. If this isn't an obvious republican media slant than I don't know what is?

Our media is completely out of control and is no longer a source of any credible information, that speaks volumes about our so called free democracy. We need some major changes and soon. As I see it, every day the media gets more and more perverted.

1. I noticed this too

I think this would be major, major news if he was a Democrat.

2. This would be a non-stop media circus frenzy if it were a dem.

You bet your ass, he would be strung out before all to see and crucified on national TV as the Democratic congressmen janklow who murdered someone. Speaking of which, what about that scumbag X-congressmen on MSRNC that has his own show. The one with the dead intern in his office.

Great guy....

You nailed it, a Dem that got drunk and ran over somebody would probably have been castrated by now...

3. Here in Miami

they've referred to him as a Republican.

5. Is that on the local news.

Because our local freeper news hasn't even mentioned him. But I am mainly talking about cable news media like CNN, MSNBC etc... I don't do FOX, but i can't imagine that they give away his party affiliation.

4. The most troubling aspect is that the house rules

do not REQUIRE him to resign because he has committed a felony. And I heard he can still vote, although they would discourage it.

WTF?????????????????????????????????????

Do these rules just change when a repuke is caught or what?

7. well Traficant was expelled and I think his crimes were felonies

whatever the case I'm pretty confident he'll either resign or at least not run again.

8. NPR aired a Janklow staffer defending him

She said everyone has driven carelessly - speeding, running stop signs, putting on makeup... and the media is being very unfair to him!!!!

I've yet to hear them interview anyone from the victim's side (maybe they did and I missed it).

9. And a lot of people have had affairs,

It does not mean that they are automatically guilty of murder when their lover comes up missing(Condit). Yet janklow has a history of reckless driving and that staffer paints it like a temporary over sight.

Repugnants make me sick.
