Why wouldn’t a city that keeps electing Fords also keep electing Herenton?
Cities like Memphis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit,Boston, Baltimore, Washington, etc,..etc......make Baghdad look positively clean and righteous by comparison...
I have always found it amusing to see the lengths to which the media will go to not identify the political affiliation of Liberal Democrats when said Democrat is accused of wrong-doing. I’m from MA and I saw this all the time. There really is little a Democrat can do that will get the media or their voters to turn on them apart from agreeing with a Republican. In MA, they’ve had politicians who were either indicted or convicted of serious crimes who would still run for re-election with full confidence that they could win. Talk about a culture of corruption.
Republican Scandal: US “news Media” reports every accusation, rumor or half truth as “fact” and hypes it as positively worst political crime ever over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over......
Democrat Scandal: US “News Media” white washes the whole thing, claims it makes no difference to the voters and goes all out to destroy the life of the accusers.
So are our modern “Journalists” this arrogantly stupid that they think this sort of transparent partisanship is actually “Objectivity” or do they simply assume the American people are so willfully blind that they can be as rabidly partisan as they want what and suffer no professional consequences ever?
