Indiana Doesn’t Want Me, Lord I Can’t Go Back There

The Indiana Secretary of State, Charlie White, has been convicted of perjury, theft and v0ter fraud.  While his behavior is despicable and criminal, the most interesting thing about the story is the story itself. Honest people that read America’s left wing newspapers and international news services such as Reuters and AP will notice that when a Democrat is convicted of pretty much anything, the party name is either left out entirely or buried deep in the piece.

“Republican” is the eighth word in this Reuters story. Not surprising at all, but illustrative of what is so wrong with the main stream media in America.

Also interesting is that although it is in the piece for the careful reader, the fact that the only voter that was involved in the “voter fraud” was White himself is not clearly spelled out. He falsified address information which allowed him a stipend he was not entitled to, and voted in a special election based on his falsified address. This behavior makes me somewhat ill (coming from a Republican, it’s status quo for Dems), but Reuters wants the focus on the voter fraud headline, not the actual elements of his crime.

I have mentioned before, and still believe that the press was never meant to be unbiased in their beliefs. This selectivity in using party names is not a matter of bias however, it is an effort to hide the affiliations of the criminals on their side versus the right side.

Biased or not, reporters and editors, you should report the pertinent information up front about all public officials involved in criminal activity related to their positions!
