"Well, as someone noted on FOX the other evening, there was NO mention of Blago’s political affiliation by any of the major news networks or cable news shows."

Last week I saw two NYT columnists discussing the Blago affair, and the two articles between them comprised about 40 paragraphs. The word "Democrat" did not appear in either story. It is impossible - impossible - to imagine a story about a corrupt Republican without the word "Republican" being mentioned two or three times, and with the implication that the corruption is not an isolated incident but is somehow characteristic of the entire party.

Even though I understand how they operate it still amazes me that they are attempting to attach Blago to the Republican Party, so R's are further damaged and dems come out smelling like a rose.

Those observations are made by FReepers on FR on a daily basis, yet many people say the media is not biased. There are even some people - DUmmies - who say the media favors Republicans. No wonder we call them DUmmies.

I sent the link of the B [end] O [ver] voters that was on FR a couple of weeks ago to a bleeding heart liberal who thought Republicans were still in charge of congress. I told her anyone who didn't know that the (d's) have been in charge since Jan 2007 should have been kicked out of the voting booth. She admitted that voter education was in a sad state. She admitted that she would have failed the test too.

I asked her if she felt better knowing that she had no idea which party was in control, and she basically told me off and left in a huffy fit. She watches the communist news network, so her brain is full of trash.
