not saying there aint no media bias.... but you dont hear "Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar", he is referred to in the press just as Gov. Schwarzeneggar.

This point has been brought up before, but I guess selective hearing must be pretty integral to fabricated outrage.

Fabricated outrage? Hu?
Spence I was merely pointing out that after reading the story yesterday on MSNBC I had to Google search this idiot's name and go to three or four websites before I confirmed my suspicions that he was a "D"
And c'mon, are you honestly going to tell me that if it were a Republican who stepped in it, that's wouldn't be one mentioned in one of Katie's first three sentences?
Sorry, I must be one of the "sheeple" some of you guys love to mock.....

Based on the elightenment by EarnedStripes, it would appear that you're the biased one rather than the media.

Just so you guys know.. There can be only ONE Govenor of a state. Its not like a senator or a congressman who are members of a certian party..
I think party affiliations are not as important when we talk about Governors.
just my 10 cents.. that is now worth 6. thanks George

your right spence, in fact, I learned that from one of your post. You are among the few whose insight and measured responses to the day's current events I've come to appreciate.
...and I cant forget fishbones, although we've disagreed being that we find ourselves on the opposite end of the political spectrum. He's irritatingly logical, just kidding about the irritating part.
