You would never know a US Senator was on trial

Blog: Did anyone in the media hear that a US senator is on trial?

unless of course the Senator in question happened to be a Republican then it would be covered like it was the end of the world. And the board left wingers would be all over it like flies on sh**. But we hear crickets since its a liberal democrat.

Looks like every single major media outlet is covering it in detail.

I saw this on Fox.
The left wing media doesn't like reporting on bad things about their own.

Print media. I was referring to the tv news (a term I use loosely). I should have made that clear. My bad.

Of course not, progressives are above the law. And their spineless fucking supporters are constantly sucking their dicks…

It's a politician from New Jersey. Why are we not surprised.

Works for me just fine.

But if you'd like to see for yourself, go to Google News, and search for it. You'll find hundreds of stories.

The OP asked if this standard was being applied.

So, is it being covered as if it were the end of the world? You see, he has a point. A half-inch on page 35, or 20 seconds on TV is not the standard that would be used if it were a Republican. It would be multiple articles, above the fold, front page or it would dominate the TV news to the order of 15 minutes as a lead, and at least five minutes at the end of the program.

Is that being done?

Still holds. I did not say there was no coverage, just far less since its a Dem.

None of that matters. Fox told them that nobody is covering it, so they believe nobody is covering it.

Works for me too -- entries under "Full Coverage" are NYTimes, USNews & World Report, and NPR.

Oopsie--- two of those are "print media". Aren't they.

In "Highly Cited" appears CNN, and under "More Articles" the LA Times, the Mercury News, Detroit News, Chicago Tribue, NY Post, Albany Times Union, USA Today, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, as far from New Jersey as you can get, the freaking Chippewa Herald and others. And those are just the print media.

Another lie. It was not no coverage, but the degree and frequency. Get it straight for once.

I saw a graphic on Fox which positively showed ZERO TV coverage the first day from NBC, CBS or ABC.

So, either you look like an ass with your usual nit-picking, or you call Fox an outright fraud on the very clear statement of FACT they represented. That, of course would mean you monitored the three main Outlets....just as Fox obviously did.

You like to nit-pick at technical issues, and are called on it less than you should be.

But pretty much everybody knows that the Mainstream Media, the New York Media, is heavily biased in favor of Liberals. Do you deny that as a general proposition?

And if you don't deny it, how do you justify or explain it?

I don't accept bullshit self-serving hypotheticals as "standards".

I'm really not that interested. Like shootings in Chicago, it's just another democrat getting caught abusing the trust of others.
