Here's the Washington "Moonie" Times take on what's newsworthy: |

Obama campaign worker engages in the common and absolutely legal practice of compiling opposition research: Front Page, above the fold headline, 25 paragraph article, complete with picture of Senator Obama, and every other word in the story is "Democrat". (Tuesday, 6/19)
Guiliani campaign worker indicted for felony distribution of crack cocaine: Three paragraphs buried away with a dozen other little vignettes on Page 8 in a section called "American Scene". The word "Republican" never appears in the article, and Guiliani's name finally shows up in the second to last sentence of the final paragraph. (Wednesday, 6/20)
Damn that librul media!

We all know it happens all the time -- but this is a case in point, right on the same day. Especially like the part about how often "Democrat" is mentioned in the one article, vs. "Republican" in the other. I've noticed it for years -- was commenting on in pre-9/11, even, when that Republican mayor of Waterbury, Connecticut was arrested for having sex with 8- and 10-year-old girls. Every single article I could find, neglected to mention his political affiliation. Every single one! Whereas, anytime there was a Democratic malefactor, his or her political affiliation was prominently mentioned.
