Boxer Aide Arrested for Distributing Child Porn, Media Mostly Mum
News Busters ^ | NOVEMBER 14, 2008 | Noel Sheppard

A high-level adviser for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Cali) was charged Wednesday with receiving and distributing child pornography.

Although Jeff Rosato was arrested and fired last Friday, this story has garnered very little attention from the mainstream press.

Do you think the media would have been equally disinterested if he worked for a Republican?

While you ponder, here are the details reported by the Associated Press Thursday:

This should be getting some national attention. Pass it on.

If the guy were Republican, it would be lead story on Nightly News. Bob Schieffer would open his Sunday morning show with it...

I'm most shocked that he was fired.

Isn't it his Constitutional Right to Pursue Happiness however he likes (isn't that the gay marriage argument)???? I cannot believe Barbara Boxer isn't demanding EQUAL PROTECTION FOR CHILD PORNOGRAPHERS NOW!

(except the fired part)

Wasn’t Bernie Ward also a Boxer aid? Connection? Snitch?

I lived for several years near San Francisco and in Santa Cruz and came across my fair share of “Fag Hags” (i.e. women who like the company of homosexuals). Every single one of them was well aware that their friends were attracted to teenage boys and NONE were offended by it. A couple of them even liked to crack jokes about it.

I guess we can’t quote a word of AP here, but the headline and the lead sentence lay it out clearly. Aid to Barbara Boxer, Democrat. Child Porn. FBI. All very much to the front.

Normally they don’t mention “Democrat” in this sort of context, and they bury the connection to someone like Boxer on a back page, if they mention it at all. But in this case it’s right up front the way it’s supposed to be—but seldom is.

I don’t know how much play the mass media will give this story, however. AP sends the stories around, and they choose whether to run them, whether to front page them, how often to follow them up. I imagine this will blow over very quickly.

I hope Jeff sues Boxer for not being tolerant of his life-style choice.

MrB, at least I will be in good company when we both go to the re-education camps.

Liberals can commit no crime so vile that anyone will criticize them for it later pingout.
