Fux News Ignores Political Affiliation Of Craig!

Fux News fails to identify Idaho Sen. Larry "I Am Not Gay!" Craig as a Repugnacan. Read it for yourself...

Maybe they're trying to be politically correct. Like how they are starting to omit the race of people the police are looking for. Or go out of their way to not mention that someone involved in something unsavory is a Muslim.

The reason that Faux Newz does not mention that Craig is a Repubatub is that Republicans are never gay and the Lincoln Log Republcans do not exist never have existed and never will exist therefore if Craig did a gay act he must not be a Republican so it would be inaccurate to report that his is. Furthemore gayism is not a Republican thing to do so how can he be a Republican?

Does it matter what party Craig is? He should resign either way, in the very least not run for re-election.

The issue of the thread is not the outcome of the matter but the plain lack of balance and fairness exhibited a major "news" outlet exhibited.
Even if you wish to ignore the obvious ( that Fux News is the Official Articulating Orifice of the Repugnacan Party) you must examine why it chose not to identify Craig as one of their own. They have in the past mislabeled Repugnacans as Dems when it served their purposes. This is not their first bite at this rotten apple.
Remember, Fux News successfully argued in an appellate court that it had the constitutionally protected right to lie to the American public.

From 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET on August 27, Fox News devoted only 3 minutes and 47 seconds to segments discussing Sen. Larry Craig's (R-ID) June 11 arrest during an investigation of "lewd conduct" in the men's public restroom at a Minnesota airport and his subsequent guilty plea to charges of disorderly conduct.
Media Matters - Fox News gave slim coverage to Sen. Craig story
Nice.
At least they identified him by party affiliation on the TV reports.

Michele Malkin hosting the Oreilly factor said quite a bit about it last night. The 15 minutes I saw was nothing but people talking about Craig.

Yesterday was one full news cycle after the story broke.

Instead of calling it Fox News, why don't they just call it Vote Republican.

You know what I just don't understand? If Fox News is so biased and partisan, why do the liberals and Democrats watch it? All it does is get them upset to the point that they wet their undies and bitch up a storm.
