SOME STATE RUN MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE FAILED TO IDENTIFY CONVICTED CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM JEFFERSON, DEMOCRAT, LOUISIANA, BY HIS PARTY AFFILIATION

CNN has lately joined the State Run Media's effort to not reference Mr. Jefferson's (Democrat, La) party affiliation. We've been seeing a lot of this lately. One network only has, to this date, identified the convicted Jefferson as a card-carrying democrat.

We find, too, that often political miscreants, if Republican, are almost always mentioned in the press by party, liberals have lately not been so identified. John Edwards, for instance, former Vice Presidential candidate, is having more difficulties with his ex girlfriend, but somehow, on some news outlets, his party affiliation is often never mentioned. As though we're too stupid to remember him.

And they wonder why they are not trusted by ordinary citizens.
