Party secret

"Incredibly, in lead stories Monday night about New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer being linked to a prostitution ring, neither ABC's 'World News' nor the 'NBC Nightly News' verbally identified Spitzer's political party. Must mean he's a liberal Democrat — and he is," the Media Research Center's Brent Baker writes at www.mrc.org.

"CBS anchor Katie Couric, however, managed to squeeze in a mention of his party. Last August when news of Larry Craig's arrest broke, both ABC and NBC stressed his GOP affiliation," Mr. Baker said.

"On ABC, the only hints as to Spitzer's party were a few seconds of video of Spitzer beside Hillary Clinton as they walked down some steps and a (D) on screen by Spitzer's name over part of one sound bite. NBC didn't even do that."
