The mainstream press again today shows us how it isn’t biased. The Democrat Detroit mayor was indicted today on multiple criminal charges, yet NBC, CBS, ABC and the Associated Press all managed, just as they did the other day when the Democrat governor of New York resigned in disgrace, to cover the story without once mentioning the party affiliation. Yet this same day, an Associated Press story was released regarding the results of an investigation of last summer’s Interstate bridge collapse in Minnesota. In that story, relevant to nothing, prominent play was given to “Republican governor Tim Pawlenty” having vetoed a gas tax increase which would have paid for bridge repairs, and that the Democrats had favored the measure. No mention that the bridge wasn’t on a repair list, or explanation of how it was the governor’s fault given that the investigation concluded the original construction of the bridge was faulty, which wouldn’t be remedied by yet another tax increase.
So just to summarize: Mayor of Detroit, Governor of New York, apparently without a party affiliation. But Minnesota bridges, or at least the ones that collapse, are Republicans.
