Fine example of media bias. (What's missing from this article?)
CNN ^ | July 26, 2005 | Associated Press

Posted on 07/26/2005 6:33:50 AM PDT by condi4prez.com

"Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll apologized Monday to the family of a Marine killed in Iraq for showing up uninvited for his funeral last week and giving out a business card.

Knoll went to the funeral of Staff Sgt. Joseph Goodrich and family members said she told his aunt that 'our government' was opposed to the war."

What is missing from this article?

Notice that there is not a single mention of the fact that Lt. Governor Catherine Baker Knoll is a DEMOCRAT in the AP article posted on CNN. You can bet if a Republican politician publicly screwed up like this, the word "Republican" would be in the first sentence -- if not the title!

It's nice to know that some things never change, like MSM bias.

Actually, it's a given now days that whenever a government official does or says something so far out in left field they must be a dimwit.

It just goes to show that the media will not waste extra words on what is already known by all the readers.

If someone is bashing the troops, they are Dimocrat understood. If they happen not to be a [D] we will get them re-registered so they can line up with the b@stards they belong with.

Go read the article. She didn't really apologize. Just a bunch of PC crap in a letter. And apparently while at the funeral she spent most of her time with the press and TV cameras. Disgusting. Only a RAT Lib would crash a military funeral.

Separated at birth?

Yup. The typical "I'm sorry you feel that way" PCBS.

Good catch. I remember when Gary Condit was in the news. After a few days, I finally figured out that he had to be a democrat because they wouldn't say which party he belonged to.

Totally off topic but....

Seeing "Removed by Moderator" always makes me wonder what I missed!

Jim should create a 'kooks corner' where all those comments are posted - with the author & article under discussion removed.

I'm not interested in the "All you _____ must die!!" kinda posts but the 'out there' posts that seem to have been just misdirected from the DU site :)

Someone posted a message about liberals and one-world government but meant to post to a different thread. They probably asked to have it removed themselves. I just thought it was kind of funny how their comment on liberals still worked for this thread.
