Media Plays Hide the (D) When Covering Spitzer Scandal

March 13, 2008 · Filed Under Liberal Bias, Liberals, Media

It’s been impossible not to notice how the major media outlets either in print or on television have gone out of there way to avoid mentioning that Eliot Spitzer is a Democrat.

They talk about his political career and how he rose to power, but nearly always neglect to mention that he’s a Democrat.

Contrast that with Larry Craig, David Vitter, or any other Republican and the media covers it quite differently. In fact, when it’s a Republican you may not even know his name but you’ll darn sure know he’s a Republican.

Brent Baker over at Newsbusters documents in painstaking detail how incredibly obvious the omissions are. He literally goes through the news transcripts to show how egregious it actually is.

I highly recommend everyone check it out.
