How about this bit of media bias? Today’s NY Times on page A 16 has an article by Alan Blinder about Patrick Cannon, mayor of Charlotte, NC, African-American, who plead guilty to fraud, accepting cash bribes, etc. and faces a 20 year prison term.

Mayor Cannon is a democrat, but you won’t learn that bit of information reading the 700 words of the article, nor the photo caption. His party is unmentioned.

There is bias in the MSM, but the NYT consistently takes the cake.

"Conservative author and pundit Dinesh D’Souza charged in campaign finance case" Washington Post, by Tom Hamburger and Alice Crites, Published: January 23

Washington Post....first word in headline and article is Conservative.

NYTimes....title or artlcle never mention the political affiliation of the politician....a democrat.



The point isn't that there aren't crooked politicians in each party. The point, to spell it out plainly, is the MSM bias in reporting.
