LOL @ conservatives who think they can prove "media bias" with anecdotes. Do conservatives use any other kind of evidence to prove anything?

I love threads that start out with the OP derailing it from the get go then acting indignant when called on it. It's better than old man yelling at cloud threads, it's old man yelling at mirror.

I listed the HuffPo link in the OP and gave them credit for mentioning it woolf. If you check the NBC link you'll see that party affiliation was added,,,,but after the story was out and after a number of complaints pointing out their bias. It was added with no notice and/or update. Again going against journalistic ethics.

Your desire to equate corruption & party affiliation has no basis in reality. Your deflection into which news outlet did or did not mention party affiliation is immaterial & absurd, childish, the usual rightwing hack against media that is anything but liberal.

Get over yourself.

Face it, the guy's a Democrat. Go cry on someone else's shoulder. They didn't mention his party affiliation until it was noticed and complained about by numerous readers and then they added the lines. Do you know what journalistic integrity is? Obviously not.

You fail again. Right at the top it says they updated the report. More stupid outrage by Republicans. It is one reason you are going to lose in November.
 
Remember when Mark Foley was caught preying on underaged boys and Fox News labelled him as a Democrat rather than the Republican ("of course") that he was? I'm sure monovillage was outraged.

Most MSM sources mentioned the party affiliation. Interestingly, IIRC, Fox sort of buried it as a passing mention in the third to last paragraph.

I think if you look around at articles discussing mayors, you'll find that mention of party affiliation is less consistent than it is with, say, Senators or Reps. This isn't scientific and is just my own observation, but I wouldn't be surprised if a study bore this out, that local politicians are not as consistently identified by party, for whatever reasons.

True and you're right as usual woolfie, but I needed a faux outrage fix yesterday.
 
What does the party affiliation have to do with the charges and actions?

That is the topic of the thread; not 100+ posts on why was the party not prominently identified and when does such happen.

The only thing monovillageidiot cares about is attacking "libruls". That is what his thread is about.

The federal government did an excellent job of investigating and keeping clean the local jurisdiction of Trenton. Nice to have the occasional positive story of federal intrusion into state affairs.

There is Not much else to talk about. Although it seems the discussion on why the discussion should not be about partisanship is quite popular in this thread, despite the obvious intent of the OP.
