To those of us paying attention, this is really not news. But they will deny their bias to the bitter end.

It took weeks for The Dan to report the Gary Condit (Rat-CA) scandal. When he did, Condit was described as “conservative” (he wasn't) and never mentioned his democrat party membership.

While this is a good idea for a study its not well developed yet nor does it have controls.

For example take “Larry Craig” searches of the google news archives.

“Larry Craig” - 18900
“Larry Craig” Republican - 8670

“Larry Craig” sex - 2790
“Larry Craig” sex republican - 1910

So in all Larry Craig mentions over the last 20 years of news the word “republican” was mentioned 46%

But in stories where sex was also mention (and thus was likely to be a scandal story) “republican was mentioned 68% of the time.

Then you’d need to repeat this with various sex scandals from both parties. I don’t doubt there will be a difference but the articles implies its 20% vs 100% and that does not appear to be true.

Spitzer - 138000
Spitzer democrat 7850

spitzer sex 3630
spitzer sex democrat 390

Spitzer went from 6% to 11%

We sit here and act surprised when the liberal drive-by media plays thier silly child like games day in and day out. reader ship is down, audience viewing is down, they can’t even put together a radio show that can stand on it’s own. They need the fairness doctrine to force the government to make the playing field equal cause johnny isn’t playing nice. Let’s keep it up, stop viewing, stop buying, stop listening( if they ever get another shot at a radio station) there are cracks in the china!

When there is a lack of description then you know it is a Democrat, just like when a suspect in a crime isn’t mentioned it’s a black guy (although nowadays, it could also be a hispanic or middle eastern type). And they also sometimes refer to middle eastern/arab/muslim types as asian.

Hooray Brent Baker! OUTSTANDING! Thanks for your work. Propagandists are very clever, very subtle. America’s anti-truth, anti-freedom propagandists are second to none.

This was a great article. I've emailed it to many of my friends and family.

However, I would like it if there was some sort of email facility on Newsbusters.

Thanks!
