CNN Hides Blagojevich's Party Affiliation in Embarrassing AP Story

After Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had an embarrassing appearance on "The Daily Show," many had a good laugh. The Associated Press even reported on it:

Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-puzzled Democratic governor.

CNN also picked up the wire story, but decided to change an interesting detail:

Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show" was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes- puzzled governor

How sad. Over something so trivial as this, CNN decided to hide Governor Blagojevich's party affiliation. And we're supposed to believe they're unbiased?

HAT TIP: B4B reader Chris.

Unless you are CNN trying to cover for a Democrat.

And we aren't supposed to think that the Agenda Media doesn't exist? Riiiiight.

I read that story yesterday and noticed the exact same thing! They included the party affiliation (Republican) of the other politician in the story, but it didn't mention the affiliation of the governor. I just assumed he was a Democrat.

Dems are always hiding because they've been found out for the hypocrites they are!

Blago was exposed for the fool he is, now he's toast!

So, let me get this straight.... Cheney shooting a 78-year old man = non-story.

CNN ommitting the political affiliation of a Governor that most people already know = conspiracy?!?

GOP Bloggers = self-righteous hypocritical morons.

Sorta like how they never seemed to mention Traficant or Condit's affiliation.

Beam me up!

Flesh,

Oh, it was a story - for a day, until it became completely clear that it was an accident and that everyone was sorry it happened....it took MSM bias plus leftwing, paranoid conspiracy theories to make it into the absurd kerfuffle it ended up as...

And what Party affiliation is the governor of Wisconsin? Yeah...most people don't know...
