Why does the media ignore Democrat corruption?

The Democratic Party is extremely corrupt, look at Shrillary's shady campaign contributions. William Jefferson's frozen cash. Harry Reid's land deals. etc, etc.

The liberal mainstream media overdoses the public on minor Republican stuff like Larry Craig (creepy, yes, but corrupt? no), or non-issues like Cheney falling asleep during a meeting.

Will the MSM ever report the truth about how rotten Democrats are? Or is it up to the alternative media and internet to inform the public?

    Isn't is obvious? The MSM leans far, far to the left so why would they expose their party memebers? There is plenty of corruption on both sides of the isle. I beleive they won't fully investigate Hillary, because the last time they did allot of people ended up Dead. I do find it intrestiong that she is getting the same financial support from China that her husband did. There is plenty of shady money in Washington to go around.

    sad fact is that the public dictates the media. "We the people" want to hear only what soothes our idealism's. The Democrats are far more popular over the Republicans (thx Mr Bush) and this is why the media has its blinders on with raising concerns about Democratic policies and the Democrats running for Presidency. Also - the republicans haven't helped this any in the last few years. I mean trying to get rid of funding for the CHIPS program? A program backed by over 80% of the public???

    PLUS - being a liberal Democrat is way "cooler" to the 20' somethings (myself being a 20' something but not a Democrat, I am an Indepandant). Everyone jumped on the Democratic bandwagon and I hate to say that the Repulicans didnt leave them any reason not to. IMO the more poeple think for themsleves and base there decisions on the subject matter and less on party lines... the faster we change our though process the faster our system will change for the better.

    Another conservative whine. First most media is owned by republicans. Second when is reporting the truth wrong? How come most issues to do with either party is not reported on? Why do we never hear on where the money in iraq is being spent? Why do we never hear about how oil companies run monoplies and nothing is being done? The only republicans that get busted are gays? Do they out their own kind? You first need to get through your head that media is not liberal. Media is aboiut information if you like it or not. PS tell Rush limbaugh he is a liar.

    When news agencies report facts that you don't agree with does not mean they are corrupt. Foreign news organizations report the same news so according to you Obama controls them as well. Be more objective and analyze before making judgments.

    They ignore it about as much as they ignore Republican corruption. By the way when it comes to corruption no Democrat can hold a candle to those in the current Administration. So what looks like a little is a little.

    Very simple They are also liberal and don't want to go after their own kind.

    If the Hildebeast were Republican you can bet there would already have been a full scale investigation on the front page or lead story on every MSM outlet ever since the first day.

    Since it's the Hildebeast they only mention it in passing.

    If they have to mention it at all.

    why do YOU ignore the TONS of corruption that has taken place in the last 7 years and pretend its only about Craig and Cheney's naps

    All you have cited are allegations, mostly originating from right wing mouth pieces like Hannity because there is not enough for a real journalist to report on. Jefferson is pending trial. If there is nothing to report on then the press will focus on other stories.

    The media loves juicy scandal and the Republicans continue to provide a never ending stream of smut, corruption, divorces and trophy wives. Too, too juicy to resist. Topped with "family values" who would expect anything else.

    Ever hear of Bob Ney? Randy "Duke" Cunningham? There are plenty of really corrupt Republicans that you are all too happy to overlook.

    By the way, the word is "Democratic". You cannot use a noun (Democrat) as an adjective. Leave it to a Rightist to be semi-literate.
