Two years ago, ABC’s Brian Ross broke wide open the scandal of Republican Rep. Mark Foley sending sexual Internet messages to Congressional pages. Foley resigned quickly, but that didn’t dampen the story. We reported "On the ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news programs, from the story’s emergence on Friday night, September 29, through Wednesday morning, October 11, the Big Three networks have aired 152 stories." On October 11's Good Morning America, news anchor Christopher Cuomo spoke insistently: "Less than a month before the elections and the Mark Foley scandal just keeps growing." Reporter Jake Tapper added: "This is the scandal that will not go away."
But what about a scandal that will not be acknowledged? Even when a network breaks the story? On October 13, ABC reporter Brian Ross broke the news on his Blotter blog that Rep. Tim Mahoney, the Democrat who replaced Mark Foley in the House, who ran on returning morality to Congress, "agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him." The FBI is now investigating. ABC has audio of him yelling at the mistress (with profanities) that she's fired. Mahoney didn’t resign. He’s running for reelection.
Number of ABC stories on the morning and evening newscasts? Zero.
Number of CBS stories? Zero.
Number of NBC stories? Zero.

Now what?
So your saying the average news outlet in America is biased? Can you point to any literature substantiating this outlandish claim?
this would show the radical bias of the press by stark contrast
Yeah-corrupt media AND corrupt democrats.
And that's all that keeps happening. Especially in this election coverage, the msm has clearly shown it is working as an agent for the democrat party. At what point does making this point become a gesture in futility?
Obvious double standard. A Republican fails to pay a parking ticket, and he’s chased and harassed and drawn and quartered by the MSM. A Democrat can rape a young woman and there is nothing but silence from the MSM.
Oh, you have no idea how deeply I loathe the MSM. Just. No. Idea.
There is no time for Mahoney, they are devoted to Cheer-leading, Spinning & Lying to get their candidate elected.
I pray we can shove every last pom-pom up their backsides.
No, perhaps I’ve been a little hasty in my judgment of the media. ;-)
I don’t know, that’s the million dollar question. Maybe I’m wrong to keep pointing it out, but after all these years, it still gets my blood boiling.
Intellectually, morally, or some other way we haven't dreamed of yet?
Is anyone suprised that the Propaganda arm of the New Democrat Socialist Peoples Party of America is not covering the downfall of one of its members??
Why??
The ONLY way this will change is if we take notes, list the advertisers, and contact them en masse and tell them we are NOT buying your products while you support this biased trash reporting.
Jim Lehrer (Disgraced PBS, Democrat): "Manhoney? Adultery? Who cares?
Only Republicans make our channel's news in this matter.
The ONLY birth certificate, or medical records, you will ever hear about
here will be those of Joe-the-Plumber. Now, how many of Gwen Ifill's book
on Messiah-Obama's glorious January 2009 Coronation would you like?"

They may not be covering it, but I saw this morning that he went from 7% ahead of Rooney before this was revealed to now at 26% behind Rooney.

You know, we can always look at the sponsors of the news divisions and stop buying their products.
The only way to beat communism is by bankrupting it.
Stop watching the MSM. Get rid of your cable. Cancel that newspaper subscription. Stop paying them to be indoctrinators and forcing their ideology.
JoMa
Amen and I am doing that now.
