'Good Morning America' Fails To Reveal Indicted Former New Orleans Mayor Nagin A Democrat

When in 2008 Senator Ted Stevens was indicted on corruption-related charges, the very first word in ABC News's headline was "Republican." And the R-word was mentioned four more times in the story.

But when ABC's Good Morning America ran a segment this morning on the indictment on charges of corruption of Ray Nagin, former Mayor of New Orleans, it never revealed—either by spoken word or screen graphic—that Nagin is a Democrat. Note that this was not some short news blip: GMA took a full minute-and-a-half to tell the story, but couldn't find a few seconds to mention Nagin's party affiliation.

Good Morning America fails to mention indicted Nagin a Democrat. Gee, I wonder why? Ping to Today show list.

I am guessing with Nagin’s experience in dealing with Katrina, and his resume enhancing criminal activity, he would make a fine EPA commissioner.

From the Libertarian Republican...."Reaction from the public — to the federal indictment of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, at least on the surface, appears to be divided along racial lines."

(DEMOCRAT Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin)

(Nagin indicted)

(Nagin charged)

Can Holder and Co. be far behind?

We can hope so...

Dog bites Man = Not News

Democrat Indicted = Not News
Republican Indicted = News

ABC World News with Diane Sawyer last evening did a segment on Nagin ... no mention of party affiliation. Same with Brian Williams.

He was a Republican until he switched to run for mayor.

He was just a crook.

Since they showed his face, and he’s almost as black as Zero, they’re all guilty of racism.

Thanks governsleastgovernsbest.

Mark, I've noticed that as of Dec, 2012, the Pravda Press is now actively LYING about facts.

I expect them to assert Nagin is a hardcore TEA Party Official.

My personal favorite was when Democratic Congressman Gary Condit was suspected in the murder of Chandra Levy, the media dubbed him "conservative congressman, Gary Condit."

Presumably, they found some vote he accidently cast against a tax increase once, earning him the "conservative" mantle.

Another d-rat of the Chocolate City of the Crescent gets indicted — was I supposed to be surprised???

All the school shooters were democrats or their parents were or both... I’m sure they ‘failed’ to mention that too...

‘Good Morning America’ hides the truth because, at heart they’re liars.

GRRRREAT catch, Mark! GMA = Great Marxist Affiliates

Pre-meditated omission. It makes no sense to amplify our failures ALERT!

Nagin of Nawlins is like King Kwame of Detwah.

That is actually true.

Maybe this isn't the best case.

There are plenty of others.

ABC sucks... they’re worse than NBC and that’s saying a lot.
