Must be lots of women named Eliot in the UK, which would confuse readers as to which one, on the left or right, is Eliot. Yeah, yeah...that’s the ticket.

Other than a bit overreacting....nothing. Seriously if they were trying to identify his party it would of been (D-NY or R-NY))
To: Cripplehawk
Must this really be posted every few hours? The AP has plenty of bias problems, and “guess the party” is a fun game when there’s a Democrat scandal, but (R) means “right” in this case.

This is from Agence France Presse. It has been up since noon yesterday. They ain’t gonna change it! There were threads yesterday about this.
To: polymuser

The text on the side also says “(R)” though.
To: xjcsa
No-one should be calling you a shill for Yahoo, xjcsa.
That said, the (R) really does yell out “Republican”, not “Right” to most people. I don’t doubt Yahoo were trying it on.
To: Ouderkirk
It’s a lame excuse the media uses to confuse their readers. They never use (R) to indicate “right” when the perp is a Republican.

Oh come on! You know as well as I do that a great majority of the ordinary, average sheeple get their news from headlines without even bothering to read more into the story. Yes, it does mention that he is a democrat in the story, but the headline very blatantly implies that he is a republican. For most people that is as far as they will go and all that they will see.

For those people you are referring to, what does it matter? Ask them about the story 2 hours after the saw the headline and they will give you a blank look in return.
