Two weeks since the ABC and NBC evening shows took multiple days before getting around to informing viewers that disgraced New York Governor Eliot Spitzer belonged to the Democratic Party -- after every ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news program last year immediately highlighted the party of Republican Senators David Vitter and Larry Craig -- Monday's broadcast network evening newscasts all failed to note, verbally or on-screen, Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's party.
ABC anchor Charles Gibson announced on World News: “Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged today with felonies that could cost him his job and 15 years in prison.” NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams relayed how “Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick...was indicted on perjury and other charges in the wake of a sex scandal there.” (NBC also refused to tag Kilpatrick in a full story aired Friday night.) Over on Monday's CBS Evening News, fill-in anchor Harry Smith introduced a full story: “In Detroit, a sex scandal led to criminal charges today against the Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, a married father of three.”
The brief update from Gibson on the Monday, March 24 World News on ABC (see graphic image above):
Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was charged today with felonies that could cost him his job and 15 years in prison. Kilpatrick is charged, along with his female former chief of staff. Explicit text messages contradict their sworn testimony that they did not have an affair. Kilpatrick, charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and misconduct, says he expects to be cleared.
The short item from Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News:
We are covering America tonight, beginning in Detroit, where Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick -- that's his police booking photo -- was indicted on perjury and other charges in the wake of a sex scandal there. The Mayor denied having an affair with his chief of staff until text messages showed otherwise. He faces up to 15 years in prison and expulsion from office, if he's found guilty. He said today he'll be exonerated.
Harry Smith set up the CBS Evening News story:
In Detroit, a sex scandal led to criminal charges today against the Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, a married father of three. Prosecutors say his own text messages prove he committed perjury. Dean Reynolds has the story.
Reynolds began:
At 38, Kwame Kilpatrick is the youngest Mayor in Detroit's history. Once an up-and-coming star, he now has another less-welcome distinction....prosecutors charged Kilpatrick with eight felonies, alleging he lied under oath about an affair with a top aide, blocked an investigation into it and used taxpayer dollars to hush it up....
My March 21 NewsBusters posting, “Here We Go Again: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (?),” recounted:
The week after it took the NBC Nightly News until the fourth day of coverage to inform viewers that disgraced then-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer is a Democrat, Friday's NBC Nightly News ran a full story on the scandalous behavior surrounding Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, but never identified his political party. Naturally, given the lack of a party identification by the mainstream media journalists, he's a Democrat. Anchor Brian Williams set up the story: "The city of Detroit is in a crisis over government and leadership. The current Mayor is just the latest Detroit Mayor elected on a promise to clean up and revitalize the city. Now he's been caught in a sex scandal, a trail of electronic messages reportedly provides the evidence, it threatens his career and then some."
Reporter Kevin Tibbles, also sans any mention of a party affiliation, outlined: "The Detroit city council votes overwhelmingly to ask the Mayor to resign. 37-year-old Kwame Kilpatrick, in his second term of the Mayor of the Motor City, is mired in financial, political, and personal scandal, but refuses to budge."
The March 13 item by Rich Noyes, “Study: No (D) for Spitzer, Vitter and Craig Always Tagged as GOP,” explained:
The big three broadcast networks have gone out of their way to avoid labeling scandal-scarred New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as a "Democrat." An examination of the fifteen ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news shows through Wednesday night finds Spitzer was called a Democrat just 20 percent of the time -- twice on CBS, once on ABC, and never on NBC. So, how do the networks treat Republicans involved in sex scandals? Always, always as "Republicans." Looking at the ABC, CBS, NBC morning and evening shows in the days after the most recent scandals broke, Republican Senators David Vitter (July) and Larry Craig (August) were labeled "Republican" on every show (100 percent). Yet for Democrat Spitzer, four out of five news programs (80 percent) have skipped his party identification....
For how ABC's World News avoided labeling Spitzer until the third day, check my NewsBusters item: “ABC Finally IDs Spitzer as Democrat, NBC Fails to for Third Night.”

sarc...I'll admit to a
March 25, 2008 - 07:56 ET by Jersarc...I'll admit to a fixation with the issue...but one which I think merely mirrors that of the NB editors and contributors.
There are countless times I have dug beneath the surface accusation and discovered the reality to be at odds with the party-identity conspiracy claims relentlessly promoted at this site.
For example, there have been several occasions where an article omitting party affiliation is presented as evidence of bias, but other articles from the same news source concerning the same politician and same subject matter--including party designation--are ignored.
In connection with the recent Spitzer scandal, there were over twenty separate NB blogs in a four-day period flogging this issue to death. I will agree that the broadcast media should have been more conscientious in reminding viewers that the governor is a Democrat. CNN did so shortly after the scandal broke, as well as CBS, while NBC and ABC lagged far behind [although Chris Matthews on MSNBC mentioned Spitzer's party identity].
On the other hand, the print media appeared to rather consistently identify Spitzer as a Democrat. The NYT spearheaded the investigative reporting of the scandal and most of its articles mentioned his party--as did major "liberal" newspapers such as the LA Times and Washington Post. (Apparently, the initial AP article failed to disclose party status, but, within a few hours, did so in updated reports.)
The assertion that a Reuters photo deliberately labeled Spitzer a Republican--by placing an (R) after his name--turned out, on further review, to be simply a left/right designation of the depicted individual...which was the practice in the vast majority of photos containing two or more individuals, even when the subjects were well known. And yet the discredited claim still sits there as if it were additional proof of the media's alleged unfairness toward Republicans.
But I completely support the notion of consistency and equal treatment, and believe the media should either routinely designate the party affiliation of every politician, or clearly and publicly state the policy guidelines attendant to the issue, so we can then monitor how closely those guidelines are observed.
Jer
I'd agree that a policy guideline
March 25, 2008 - 08:09 ET by sarcasmoWould prevent a lot of disagreement around here. One would think the news media would get tired of giving us this dead horse to beat, no matter which side is "right," when the issue could be so-easily avoided by something that would at the same time better-inform readers.
This might be a good analogy: Politics to most folks is like Mets vs Yankees to me. I may know that a guy is a NY baseball player, but it's a miracle if I know which team he's on. OTOH, I've known for a decade+ that Spitzer's a Schumer-type big government Democrat angling for eventual political power even while he was "just" a prosecutor, so for a political geek like me no designation was ever needed.
JMR

March 25, 2008 - 08:33 ET by Jersarc...I think I may send a few e-mail inquiries to the various network news divisions and see if I can discern an "official" position.
Admittedly, the Spitzer frenzy just about pushed me over the edge. I first learned of the breaking scandal when I tuned into CNN around 5:00 p.m. and within minutes he had been identified as a Democrat. At 6:00 p.m., I watched a local news telecast and Spitzer was identified as a Democrat. I clicked on an AP article linked from my homepage and Spitzer was identified as a Democrat. I then read several of the NYT articles concerning the controversy and Spitzer was identified as a Democrat. I then logged on to NewsBusters and began reading blog after blog after blog about how the media was almost unanimously ignoring the fact that Spitzer is a Democrat.
[And when I dared to differ with that view, I was mercilessly pounded for "calling Brent Bozell a liar". Of course I hadn't.]
Jer
Maybe, instead of single network news divisions...
March 25, 2008 - 08:51 ET by sarcasmoIt would be best to lobby whatever groups of media types get together every year to drink a lot of booze & give eachother semi-meaningless awards, if we want them to emit a standard policy. Or maybe a concentrated push on J-school faculty (who, I'd assume, might occasionally deign to read this very blog) would work? It would be nice if we could somehow end this particular problem once and for all.

Jer
More importantly Jer, is the
March 25, 2008 - 09:02 ET by exLibMore importantly Jer, is the point that..
When it's a Republican scandal it's a "Party Problem". It's indicative of, or implied, that as the Democrats say "Culture of Corruption". Nevermind that Democrats are involved in just as much corruption as Republicans.
When it's a Democrat scandal it's a "Personal" problem. Nevermind that criminal charges have been brought to bear. It's all about how "sad", let down" etc all the commentators are that such an "effective leader" was brought down by "personal" problems. Even though the Democratic party is rife with the sex scandals it seems rare that MSM commentators paints these episodes as bad for the party and risks them loosing elections in 08.
I think our most convincing argument
March 25, 2008 - 09:12 ET by sarcasmoIsn't bias itself -- that's a matter of opinion, as Jer's opinion proves -- but rather the appearance of bias. If NB emits 20 blogs ragging on the media for one issue in one day, I think we can all agree that at least for some folks, that appearance of bias is important. If a policy edict of some sort from a panel of barely sobered-up drunks on C-Span can solve the issue with an official standard, we all win.
JMR
A corruption-story the TV media will-not cover.
sarc...let me clarify one
March 25, 2008 - 09:41 ET by Jersarc...let me clarify one point. I do believe there is a degree of liberal bias in the MSM...primarily in the area of social issues.
However, I do not think the bias is as pervasive as most at NB believe, or that it necessarily always inures to the benefit of the Democrats. I also think conservatives have plenty of media support from a variety of sources.
On the other hand, it's the Libertarians who get the short end of the media stick. I know you agree with me about that.
Jer
Oh, absolutely
March 25, 2008 - 09:46 ET by sarcasmoBut I've learned, over and over, that my thesis of "there's lots of antilibertarian bias out there in the media" isn't popular or convincing to most political or media types. I'm totally willing to adapt arguments from bias to appearances if that's what it takes to someday, maybe, get my way. :) My opinion that such bias really screws Greens & Libertarians -- even if it's true -- doesn't matter.
JMR
A corruption-story the TV media will-not cover.
exLib...I agree in part and
March 25, 2008 - 09:30 ET by JerexLib...I agree in part and disagree in part. As far as the "Party Problem" and "Culture of Corruption" labels being attached to Republicans and not Democrats, you might recall that the Republicans used the claim (culture of corruption) to their great advantage against the Democrats--as a party--in taking control of Congress in 1994.
With regard to sex scandals, I think you have a fair point. The Democrats are involved in just as many or more than the Republicans, but it may not be as damaging because there is sometimes an element of hypocrisy associated with a Republican--especially if he (or she) is a vocal "family values" supporter or a favorite of the "Religious Right". I'm not suggesting this perspective is fair or appropriate, but it may explain the dichotomy.
Jer
CoC
March 25, 2008 - 10:10 ET by AgnosticThe culture of corruption was used quite well by the Republicans but of what I can recall the only time it was heard from the media was in either quoting or interviewing Republicans.
To be honest, I don't recall the media using the culture of corruption on their own in their latest bid at stories but they do seem to be prompting guest, interview participants and other third parties as to their opinion on the subject.
Yes, Jer
March 25, 2008 - 11:34 ET by exLibYes, Jer, the key point is that it was the Republicans who used it but I don't recall the media being on board with that thesis as much as in 06 the media carried the DNC water in reporting the Republican scandals the way the Dems would have liked it.
One of the biggest knock on Republicans by the Media is their "dirty" campaign commercials. Yet it appears that is the only way these things become mainstream, IMHO.
The only thing that gets me mad is that in the Democrat party sex scandals are applauded, homsexual liasons are seen as normal and for the most part life goes on for them, it's supposedly unimportant.
EXCEPT when it's a Republican, then the Democrats are the first to call a foul. It's like you knowing your neighbors house rules, that aren't your own, and going over to their house when you see an infraction.
The Foley "scandal" is a classic example of a guy who didn't techinically do anything wrong - legally. He's totally off the hook and the situation with the page program is either the same or worse than when he was a part of it. His actions were normal for a liberal democrat. Republicans were upset and thought he should resign (as they do Vitter and Craig) but to me that's "in house".

I'm not racist. I'm not KKK. But I hope they lynch this guy. He has done nothing but ruin the city and taint the good name of Michigan in the media. It is surprising that, after the scandals of his first term, he got re-elected for a second. If they don't remove this inept moron now, it is only a matter of time before he lands our great state in the media again with his fiascoes.
I watched as he was personally brought up on 8 counts. It will only take 1 to get him displaced, and the investigation has only just begun. There is the possibility of multiple murders, cover-ups, and misappropriations of funds and city property.
What do you expect when you elect someone so young to run a city? At least when Coleman Young was mayor, he was upfront about being crooked...

Someone here made a good
March 25, 2008 - 06:23 ET by KillgraveSomeone here made a good point... the reason why Old Media goes to such great lengths to immediately identify Republicans in scandals, and twist themselves into pretzels avoiding tagging Democrats, is because of web searches. Anyone typing in "Republican" and "sex scandal" will probably get a lot more hits than typing in "Democrat".
Not only is OM playing political favorites, they are deliberately trying to manipulate the entire information spectrum, both now and into the future. Anyone conducting web research five or ten years from now is going to have the impression that the Republicans were significantly more corrupt than the Democrats.
