What liberal media?

.

One measure of how unabashedly liberal our media is are the stories it chooses to ignore. Case in point is the Monica Conyers bribery story. I think I can speak for practically all of my fellow Americans, excepting the informed denizens of Old Detroit, when I say today is the first I've heard of it.

Here are some juicy details:

an individual sent by Rayford Jackson met Conyers and her aide in a McDonald's parking lot in Detroit at which time the individual delivered an envelope containing cash.

Who is Moncia Conyers? She is a Detroit City Council member. Who is her husband? None other than John Conyers, the 80-year-old chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, one of the most powerful men in the Democrat controlled 110th United States Congress.

If the same set of facts involved two married Republican politicians of similar stature this story would have been broadcast from coast to coast. No way would it have remained a local story that we were just hearing about now.

UPDATE:

♦ Only ABC's World News reported how Monica Conyers, a Detroit city councilwoman married to powerful U.S. House Democrat John Conyers, pled guilty to accepting bribes. But anchor Charles Gibson, who on Wednesday night made sure to identify Mark Sanford as “a rising star in the Republican Party,” failed to name the party affiliation for either Monica Conyers or John Conyers, and neither did any on-screen graphic. Speaking of Detroit, last year, when Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged with felonies, Gibson (as well as the CBS and NBC anchors) didn't consider Kilpatrick's party worth mentioning.
