Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin was convicted on 20 of 21 counts of corruption and bribery today.
USA Today reporter Rick Jervis did a bit of a profile of Nagin in the course of reporting on the convictions. It included a recounting of the his time at the city's helm during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But one thing it oh-so-predictably did not include was Nagin's Democratic Party affiliation

Their readers aren't fooled, click on the comments tab at the bottom of the article.
They rip Rick Jervis a new asshole & the MSM coverage of "Bush's Katrina".
Son of 0bama.
.
Remember when he was a “great moral force” denouncing Bush for not acting quickly enough after Katrina, while the governor of LA was telling Bush to hold off?
you mean the nagan that blamed Bush for katrina?

Corrupt Democrat... [f]ormer New Orleans mayor Democrat Ray Nagin was convicted on 20 of 21 counts of corruption and bribery. (presumably with other Democrats).

Not really. It was the lamestream media who did. The rats bought it of course hook line and sinker
the vast majority of MSM reports will omit that detail
No mention of his race either. Black Democrat—neither is mentioned.
And of course no mention of George Bush, who took all the blame.
There is a photo, but it’s actually hard to tell from that that he’s black, if you don’t already know it.
Why is it that so many assume everyone uses that airhead social crap?
If there was a photo, the defense of “not stating the obvious” might actually be valid.
Upon further consideration, I look at this case as yet another example of the Federal government’s “one size fits all” policy - by failing to understand and adjust to local customs.
Want more proof? Pick any notorious “R” or “D” and then Google (using either quotes, or using advance search / exact phrase) their party affiliation in front of their name. Examples:
“Republican Todd Akin” = 137,000 results
“Democrat Marion Barry” = 45 results
Proof positive that party affiliation gets consistently omitted by the MSM for any “D” who falls from grace.
