#1 Keep an eye out for the next piece on the happenings with Duke Cunningham. I'll bet you anything his affiliation WILL be mentioned.

#2 I took a quick look thru all the WRAL links about the distinguished gentleman from North Carolina. None of the articles that mention investigations, charges, indictmens, etc. use the "D" word anywhere.

And then there's this gem:

As a state lawmaker, Ballance allegedly funneled more than $2 million in state funds to his organization, the Hyman Foundation, and used more than $100,000 of it for personal and family use. Authorities said he paid his legal bills, directed money to his mother's day care, and gave $20,000 to his son, Garey Ballance, for a Lincoln Navigator.

"[He] got caught up in handling the money and it caused him some legal problems," said Rep. Edd Nye, D-Bladen County.

Ain't it always that way...

#4 Reminds me of an NPR piece a few weeks back on the investigation into several Congresspersons' involvement with a certain lobbyist. 4 Republicans were named and identified as republicans but the Democrats were not named simply refered to as, "several democrats are also involved". No bias there, nope, don't happen.
