Diogenes-Light: Bozell Blasts Media's 'D' Love

Dear Reader,

National Review Online today publishes a must-read piece by Brent Bozell, founder of the Media Research Center.

Hide 'D,' Showcase 'R' is an excellent study of just how much cover the liberal media is providing to Democrat politicians involved in scandals -- an accommodation never made to similarly troubled Republicans. Brent writes:

With control of the Senate hanging in the balance this fall, any story about any incumbent's troubles is news — if he's a Republican. This is no different from 2010 and 2012, when the press couldn't get enough of Mourdock (Indiana), Akin (Missouri), and O'Donnell (Delaware). The stories were endless.

On August 7, after a lengthy scandal involving, first, plagiarism and then the bizarre excuse of post-traumatic stress disorder as the cause, Senator John Walsh of Montana resigned in disgrace, possibly adding an all-important victory to the GOP this fall. Network coverage? Nada.

I could continue but I won't. We conclude only as we can conclude: This is deliberate. The national news media are doing the bidding of the Democratic party.

I encourage you to read and share this important article. Again, it can be found at NRO here.

Best,

Jack Fowler
