You would never know a US Senator was on trial

[Darkwind]

ABC: New Jersey Sen. Menendez bribery trial begins with possible political implications
NBC: Sen. Menendez 'sold his office' for ritzy trips, prosecutors say
CBS: Senator Robert Menendez, New Jersey Democrat, "sold his office" prosecutor says at corruption trial - CBS News
CNN: Sen. Bob Menendez's bribery trial: Five things to watch - CNNPolitics

You were saying?

The OP asked if this standard was being applied.

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.

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?

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

Oh, so you could have just ignored the entire thread, but instead chose to impose your own bullshit, self-serving hypothetical as a standard.

Gotcha.

Its all over the news - TV, radio, internet and print.

Does that count?

Ya wanna try again?

There's a reason why I respect

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

Have you looked at the link you just shared?

Error 404

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.

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

If you weren't interested, why did you whine about not being able to go to my link?

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

Hey, you know what?

Except for every single news outlet on the planet, you're absolutely right.

I didn't offer a hypothetical, moron, I offered reality.

You should invest in a dictionary.

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

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

The link in the OP claims there was "absolute silence". Of course you have to consider that that link was to another RWNJ site.

Is that a butthurt speculation fallacy?

Why yes it is.

Gotta love the irony of how the OP link whines, "nobody in the media seems to care about it! And to prove it, look at this link from the media that seems to care about it!"

Thread creators reeeealy oughta vet their own topics before somebody else does.

It's the first time a sitting United States senator has faced a federal bribery trial in 36 years, but CBS, ABC and NBC News did not devote any time to the trial in their Thursday night newscasts

Sure genius.

Yes.and we all know that if it wasn't mentioned Thursday night, it has never been mentioned before, and will never be mentioned again.

Reminds me of the time Glenn Beck tried to pull this "nobody covers this" shit.

Yep. I got the same when I clicked on the link.

Of course a piece of shit apparatchik like "the doc" wouldn't post a shitty link would he?

The density between libturd ears is like a black hole of ignorance.

Exactly the same.

I made the mistake of thinking I could gain some insight from you.
You could learn a few things from Coyote. Just saying.

She was able to offer me some insight into things I normally wouldn't understand. Insight that's helped me better understand people like you.

It's just one of the many reasons why I adore her.
