Of course Pennsylvania is known for its corruption. But then, I'm not really aware of any state that's known for its unfailing honour and honesty.

Is there one?

What does party affiliation matter? Both parties are full of corrupt scumballs. Does it really matter which way they lie to you?

It does not matter, except that it demonstrates the media bias which the media denies.

Media bias is not so much about which stories are reported but how they are reported and the inferences made and those omitted, so as to taint the readers view in the direction desired by the media.

I recently pointed this out to some co-workers in a local news paper article about a scandal where the politicians political party affiliation was not mentioned until near the end of the article. But when it is the other party which the media is opposed to most of the time, the political affiliation is usually in the first paragraph or even part of the headline. They just have to have that bashing effect.

It is sort of like asking a question with the desired answer embeded.
For example, ‘so and so did not talk to you about such and such did they?’

Why is it that when a scandal involves one party, you almost never see party affiliation mentioned in the article? The other party usually is stamped in the first few words in similar reports.

You pretty much can tell the party just by the omission. You guys know what I'm talking about.
