This morning, I heard CBS radio news report about charges that New York State Senator Jeff Klein has been accused by a former staffer of forcibly kissing her outside a bar in Albany a few years back. Let's forget about the accuracy or the gravity of the charge or why the two were outside a bar in the evening. Let's focus instead on the media for a moment. The report was about 90 seconds long, which for news radio makes it a major story. I listened closely, and do you know the one thing that the reporter never mentioned? Jeff Klein is a Democrat. Somehow, the reporter managed to omit that fact. Klein is actually a leader of an important caucus of NY Senate Democrats.
Why is it that even in a story like this the pro-Democrat bias of the media has to shine through. We all know that if it were a Republican who had been charged, his party affiliation would have been mentioned at least two times. It's just another manifestation of the source material for Fake News.
