Corruption in Illinois. Surprised?
The governor of Illinois has been arrested for corruption (LINK). What a shock. Who would have thought the Illinois and Chicago were corrupt? Some have described this scandal as “evil”. I wouldn’t go that far. I wouldn’t even say it was surprising.
The right wing blogs are all over the failure of the MSM to label Governor Blagojevich. Must of the claims are from TV coversage. That seems about right. The “How Obama Got Elected” video shows the effects of blantant media’s bias.
This story was too big to ignore…so are the TV coverage is ignoring the party in charge.
I did my own analysis of MSM coverage on the web. Here is the run down as of 12/9/2008, 1:22 pm
- ABC New..no party label (LINK)
- CBS News…has him labeled as a Democrat in paragraph 3 (LINK)
- NBC News…has him labeled as a Democrat in paragraph 5 (LINK)
- CNN… labeled as a Democrats in paragraph 4(LINK)
- AP….labeled as a Democrat in paragraph 7 (LINK)
- Reuters…labeled him a fellow Democrat Barack Obama in the 1st paragraph (LINK)
The AP has the Corruption story and another about Senator Craig’s sex scandal. It is interesting to see how the stories and the party label differ.
Only ABC News failed to mention Governor Blagojevich’s party. It seems as though this is not an issue on the MSM web sites.
So…corruption in Illinois is not a surpised. Labelling Governor Blagojevich as a Democrats is a surprise…at least to me.
