"In October 2006, the national media projected Rep. Mark Foley's online sex chats with House pages into a disaster that would swallow the Grand Old Party whIle. CBS, for example, proclaimed it the 'congressional equivalent of Katrina.' In 2008, when federal investigators found Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich trying to put Barack Obama's Senate seat on the auction block, these same 'news' gatherers found a storm, to be sure, but a storm they suggested would in short order be 'pushed out to sea.' " That’s the “two-tier system;” the “double standard” they use in handling political scandals. If it’s a Republican in trouble, scream it to the skies. If it’s a Democrat, cover it as little as possible; hopefully, only one day; or less, if possible. This is something people who “pay attention” see. (
