Bias in the Mainstream Media

The silence says “Democrat”

Andrew Bolt – Friday, July 24, 09 (07:30 am)

A long, long report on the ABC’s AM program this morning on the extraordinary corruption scandal in New Jersey that’s led to the arrest of three mayors, as well as developers and even rabbis. The reporter was particularly struck by the arrest of the young Hoboken mayor, and suggested New Jersey could be the “most corrupt” place in the US.

Only one detail was - unaccountably - missing. Which corruption-plagued party were these miscreants from?

The silence spoke volumes, but I turned to Bloomberg to confirm it:

The mayors of Hoboken, Ridgefield and Secaucus, New Jersey, and five rabbis were among 44 people charged by the U.S. with public corruption and money laundering.

Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano, 32, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, 64, and Ridgefield Mayor Anthony Suarez, 42, all Democrats; Jersey City Council President Mariano Vega Jr., 59; State Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, 44, a Republican from Ocean Township; and Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith, a Jersey City Democrat, were charged today in an FBI complaint. All except Smith appeared in U.S. court in Newark, New Jersey.
