If I recall there were actual juicy bits of evidence in those other stories, and with Cheney's daughter you have hypocrisy and the veep. Did you get upset with the media for being a conservative conspiracy when it did blow by blows on Bill's Blow jobs and dress stains? Did you get up in arms about the way Chelesy was treated? I could certainly have found a conservaitve media conspiracy over the Clinton's if I'd wanted to, because I could have picked evidence to support it- but all it really was (imo), was an interest in the newsworthy party, and a very sexy story.

As for it being a state vs federal office holder, I recall hearing a lot about a minister in Colorado awhile ago also. Not even an office holder. Huh? Why would you throw in an news report about a minister in response to a comment on political office holders. Of course the media is going to highlight sexual misconduct between ministers or priests. Sex and ministers is even better "news" than sex and politicians. The press would go into a frenzy if they had a sexual misconduct story on the Pope. The press really likes sex and boy scout leaders too. Is the press anti-boy scout because they mention it's a boy scout leader? Is the press biased against Hollywood because they print a story about some actor hiring a prostitute? I recall a story of a sting operation where police were getting BJs to get the necessary evidence to prove prostitution...there you have it, the media is biased against law enforcement. A school teacher having sex with one of his/her students...great "news" or is the media biased against teachers? Anything about sex is good, but sex and any figurehead is really good. It's especially good if you can catch the person doing something he/she publicly condemns. And you can bet big money that the press is going to mention their public position in that context. Here's some great "news" Cops: Lawyer Naked With Teen in Court newsday.com I didn't copy the text, because I'm certain no one on this thread is interested in the details. The link is merely "for the record"; I don't expect anyone here would actually click on it. jttmab

They didn't miss mentioning he was "a conservative Republican with an anti-gay rights record." =========== That's because it was RELEVANT to West's actions as a gay man using city resources to troll for young men to date. That's RELEVANT when his position was anti-gay as a rightwing Republican. It's not GRATUITOUS, it's RELEVANT. It's also quite sad that someone is so full of self-loathing and hypocrisy that they actively campaign AGAINST THEMSELVES. That's the same with Mary Cheney who used to troll leather bars on behalf of Coors. She then openly worked for a party that treats gays, at best, as second class citizens. That's very sad. The LIBERAL MSM (yep, GE is very liberal. Murdoch is totally green ROTFLMAO) also failed to mention that of the four ticket toppers in 2004 BIG DICK CHENEY was the most liberal in terms of rights for gays.
