When in 2008 Senator Ted Stevens was indicted on corruption-related charges, the very first word in ABC News's headline was "Republican." And the R-word was mentioned four more times in the story.
But when ABC's Good Morning America ran a segment this morning on the indictment on charges of corruption of Ray Nagin, former Mayor of New Orleans, it never revealedeither by spoken word or screen graphicthat Nagin is a Democrat. Note that this was not some short news blip: GMA took a full minute-and-a-half to tell the story, but couldn't find a few seconds to mention Nagin's party affiliation.

I am guessing with Nagin’s experience in dealing with Katrina, and his resume enhancing criminal activity, he would make a fine EPA commissioner.

ABC World News with Diane Sawyer last evening did a segment on Nagin ... no mention of party affiliation. Same with Brian Williams.

He was a Republican until he switched to run for mayor.
He was just a crook.

Since they showed his face, and he’s almost as black as Zero, they’re all guilty of racism.
Thanks governsleastgovernsbest.

Mark, I've noticed that as of Dec, 2012, the Pravda Press is now actively LYING about facts.
I expect them to assert Nagin is a hardcore TEA Party Official.

My personal favorite was when Democratic Congressman Gary Condit was suspected in the murder of Chandra Levy, the media dubbed him "conservative congressman, Gary Condit."
Presumably, they found some vote he accidently cast against a tax increase once, earning him the "conservative" mantle.

All the school shooters were democrats or their parents were or both... I’m sure they ‘failed’ to mention that too...

‘Good Morning America’ hides the truth because, at heart they’re liars.

That is actually true.
Maybe this isn't the best case.
There are plenty of others.
