How Predictable

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.
