Another Example Of Media Bias
« on: March 10, 2008, 06:15:43 PM »
It is so blatant that it is almost funny.  I read 5-6 articles today from various newspapers trying to find out if the New York Gov that got caught in the prostitution sting was a dem or a repub.  Not one single article until this one even mentioned it:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23561606?GT1=43001

Had he been a republican, every story would have started out like this:  Republican Governor Caught In Prostitution Sting

I'm sure it was just an oversight. 

He would have been referred to as "Republican client #9"

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

No...every story would have started:

Self-Righteous, Arrogant, Moralistic, Former NY AG, Republican Governor Caught in Prostitution Sting (Governor Recently endorsed long-time friend Republican Senator McCain...McCain silent on possible indictment...)

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

What, oh what, will poor little Hillary do now?!  She's lost an irreplaceable super-delegate and a prominent endorser:

Not quite "evidence" (AND NOT QUITE SAFE FOR WORK) but this could be her:
