Avoid Naming Party of Democrats in Scandals, But Identify Republicans Media Double Standard

I have covered this time and time again...another form of media bias...here is more proof.

(?) Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick Leads a Democratic Group, Yet Nets Refuse to Name His Party
(R) Nets Don't Hesitate to Properly Identify Ted Stevens as Republican
(?) ABC, CBS and NBC All Fail to ID Indicted Mayor as a Democrat
(?) 'Straight Arrow' Governor 'Eliot Ness' Spitzer (?-NY)
(?) For Second Night, ABC and NBC Refuse to Utter Spitzer's Party ID
(?) ABC Finally IDs Spitzer as Democrat, NBC Fails to for Third Night
(R) Study: No (D) for Spitzer, But Vitter and Craig Always Tagged as GOP
(?) Study: How Disgraceful Democrats Maddox and Traficant Lose the "D"
(?) Study: Nets Fail to Label Gary Condit as a Democrat in 92% of Levy Stories

fox makes up for it half the time by naming scandal-embroiled republicans as (d).

So after reading the post which has fact to back it up and reading anon's reply which is opinion, I conclude;
Don't believe everything you see, hear or read, and what you don't see, hear or read is omitted by intent.

But I already knew that.

i think the point was that bush administration operatives working within the msm CONSTANTLY identified errant and even criminal republicans as dems on americans' teevee screens, within the bush administration, without further comment

both parties are well versed in subliminal messaging and mass brainwashing techniques, but, until now, only the republicans have had the nerve to actually try it

this is why, sadly, americans cannot trust their media sources, and why media watchdog groups on both sides are here to stay

I think what anon claims happened like twice unlike the well documented sources in my story

really? only two republicans, caught in the act?

The Game said...

no, repubs being called dems on TV...I have proven it doesn't happen nearly as much as Dem's not being mentioned at all

There are just as many examples, easily more where rightists get away with crimes and sins. It's just not worth my time to do the research. Go to media matters and tell me where they lie. I'll give you one example...currently still sitting with few repercussions..Larry Craig, David"diapers" Vitter. Impeached, Bill Clinton, eliminated John Edwards.
This is not nearly as one sided as in your wild fantasies.

I thought you had a little more upstairs...
No one is saying repubs commit less crimes (they might but statistically can't prove it)...but the media shows their bias by calling Republicans Republicans and not telling you that dems are dems...
It's not lying, well...lying by omission I guess.

Ron said...

Well, Im not sure they keep statistics on the Game so I am not sure how one would know but I guess I don't have enough upstairs to see how this point is cogent to my and my families life..sorry for not understanding why this is more than evil liberal media speak. I thought Republicans liked to be called Republlicans? Sorry, You are right..on this I just have no idea what you are talking about.

Ron said...

Ok, I've thought about this and I think I finally get your point. Isn't it pretty easy for most people to find out what party someone is in if you are willing to pull your bootstraps to be informed? So complaining about no designation is just for lazy people. Now if someone is dishonest and puts something they are not, that is another matter.

The Game said...

Then why do they only leave out the party for Dems and not Repubs?
