Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Betrayal of Journalists

[JAshburne (JAshburne]

I'm talking about coverage differences a little more subtle than  "always" 
and "never".  "Always" and "Never" are both lies.

Most of the News organizations you mentioned had already  'informed' us
that Spitzer had formally endorsed Hillary  Clinton's candidacy for
President, making the general public  well-aware of Spitzer's political
party affiliation.   We-the-people didn't need 'Democrat' Spitzer
mentioned  ad-nauseum, because we already knew in-spades (unless more
Repubs like Ann Coultier are now endorsing Hillary....I hear  Satan
just turned up the A/C a tizz) - hence, all the media's  interest in
trying to tie Clinton in with the story, drawing  parallels regarding
Spitzer's marriage with Bill/Hillary, the  in-depth, psycho-analysis of
Hillary's comments regarding  Spitzer's fall, etc. etc. etc.  I gather
you're not  accutely following the actions of the Democratic ticket
race,  read Newsweek, Time, MSNBC, SLATE, or, well anything BUT
FarceNews, so you 'might' have missed all of this.....but the rest  of
us are already saturated/tired of  it.


Thank God my Ferrari need some work, I can retreat  to the garage this
weekend....

Last time I looked, Spitzer was solidly  Democratic.  Not something  that the 
liberal media is anxious to  include in their news reports, certainly  not as 
often as tying the  word "Republican" to what ever transgressions done
on  that 
side  of the aisle.

Look, whether we are talking Jim McGreevy (Gay American),  Ted the Cape Cod  
Orca Kennedy, William Jefferson BJ Clinton, Barney  Frank, Jerry Studds (a  
name

perfect for male porn movies) etc.  etc or any of the Republicans you  
mentioned, there is no exclusivity  of either party in sexual escapades.  In 
fact 
there is more in  common as politicians being power hungry, ego feeding  
sexual  
predators rather than one party being more active than the  other.   They 
have 
more in common than differences.

The  original comment was more on the manner in which the media   
differentiates its news coverage between the two parties. The slant in the  
reporting by 
the NY Times, MSNBC, USA Today, Time Magazine, the  Washington Post  et al is 
much more likely to downplay the Democrat  affiliation than the  Republican  
affiliation.
