It doesn't get more obvious than this.
Former Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano, who pleaded guilty Wednesday to five felony counts, is a Democrat.
What follows are the results of three searches demonstrating that every media outlet which can be found by Google News which has tracked the story in the past 30 days has failed to note Solano's party affiliation.
First a Google News search on Solano's full name (sorted by date, with duplicates) yields 90 results (the first page says "about 96," but it's really 90):
What’s that old saying: If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it? If you have to ask the party affiliation, they’re a Rat.
Wire-service journalism claims objectivity, instead of declaring the reasons why they might not be objective - as anyone who was actually trying to be objective would do.Since they aren't even trying to be objective, there is no reason to be surprised when they go out of their way to help those who help them. And Democrats do help journalists, by promoting bad news for the Republic in order to make themselves look better than the Founding Fathers of the republic. Just as journalists do.
Thanks kcvl.
Can you give us a few details regarding the specific felony charges against the Democrat sheriff?
(Reuters) - Santa Fe County’s once ambitious and popular top lawman could get up to eight years in prison for selling county property, including used police body armor, on the Internet, authorities said on Thursday.
Former Sheriff Greg Solano, 47, pleaded guilty on Wednesday in District Court as part of a plea agreement to five counts of fraud for embezzling county property and selling the items for his own gain on the popular online auction site, eBay.
The plea deal came eight months after Solano resigned as sheriff and admitted auctioning the items for personal profit. A date for the sentencing hearing has not been set.
“Solano was elected to protect and serve, not steal and profit,” Special Prosecutor Matt Chandler told Reuters.
“In an era where public trust is becoming the topic of the day, it’s time to send a message that gross misconduct by public officials will be strictly punished, and I believe an eight-year prison sentence will send that message.”
