Unless you are living a life of isolation you no doubt have heard about NY Gov. Elliot Spitzer and his hooker, but can we please get a grip! This thing has taken up 90% of the news coverage.
So the governor paid a hooker for sex and got caught. Like he is the only man in America to ever do such a thing…It can’t be the oldest profession in the world without customers.
Spitzer has admitted to the allegations, resigned and has been replaced. This story should be over, but oh no. Everyone loves a good sex scandal. So the story goes on.
Now we are being told about all the inside information into the world of call girls, and learning all the details about this young woman. In the end this story is going to make this young woman very rich.
The real annoying thing about this story is not the hypocrisy of the governor, who conducted his whole career denouncing and prosecuting such behaviors under the law, but how the main stream media has handled the story.
Spitzer is a Democrat, but you won’t find it in any of their news reports. In fact some of the broadcast news networks have refused to identify Spitzer as a Democrat at all. Would a Republican receive the same courtesy? I think not.
Newsbusters has a great example of this from ABC news. It’s an ABC's "Political Sex Scandals Redux" popup slideshow from recent years and you can see for yourself they are very quick to identify Republicans in scandals, but not Democrats.
One news outlet has actually identified Spitzer as a Republican! Amazing!
