Forgot to mention he's a Democrat?

Posted March 19, 2008 11:00 pm

In your March 11 issue of the Daily Herald, the media bias again showed, when the Spitzer article was assigned to the second page.

Of course, the Oberweis defeat was front page. The Spitzer article by the Associated Press contained no mention of his affiliation to the Democratic party but apparently relied on the former "Mr. Clean" image to let the uninformed assume he was Republican.

Let's investigate how many times "Republican" was attached to articles about Foley, Livingston or DeLay. Their affiliation was certainly mentioned more than once.

The other local paper mentioned the Republicans twice and the his "Democratic-ness" once, so it is one up.

The readers deserve much better than this from you. I want a news source whose bias is undetectable. That's why I read the internet. My opinions will be formed on my own.
