Re: Off-topic observation said by KoolMoe:I would like to see direct examples of this. Here's one.
Remember Mark Foley? Of course you do. He was a Republican. The media made sure the sick things he did in his personal life were national news prior to the 2006 elections.
His replacement, Tim Mahoney, a member of the Democrat party, was accused of giving campaign money to a mistress. While these events were reported in local media in Florida, they did not make national news in most mainstream media outlets. Thankfully, the voters in this district came to their senses and voted this guy out in 2008.

Annapolis, MD | I heard about both. Mahoney's issues seemed a lot less controversial than Foley's! And certainly you realize what passes for news these days is influenced by its controversial properties.
And regardless, that doesn't address this subtopic. Was Foley's party affiliation clearly identified and Mahoney's was not? From my recollection, was pretty clear the party of each member as the news reported the stories.
