The pro-Democrat networks easily betray their partisanship when they pretend bad news is no news for Democrats. On Saturday afternoon, NBCNews.com ran a headline:
Senate staffer alleged by conservative outlets to have had sex in a hearing room is no longer employed
Conservative news outlets alleged that the aide to Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., appeared in a leaked video showing men having sex in a Senate hearing room.
Conservatives could hardly believe it. After all, Cardin's aide Aidan was canned, and he complained it was over "who I love" (on camera). Just like Politico Playbook, NBC ran it merely as a Daily Caller accusation:
Sen. Ben Cardin’s office has parted ways with a staffer who conservative news outlets alleged was shown in a leaked video having sex in a Senate hearing room.
“Aidan Maese-Czeropski is no longer employed by the U.S. Senate,” the Maryland Democrat’s office said in a statement to NBC News on Saturday, which was first obtained by Politico. “We will have no further comment on this personnel matter.”
On Friday, The Daily Caller, a conservative news outlet, published what it said was video showing a congressional staffer having “sex with an unknown man in the Senate hearing room.” It added that the video was shared “in a private group for gay men in politics.”

From Saturday night through Sunday night, we couldn't find any mention of this Democrat scandal on ABC, CBS, NBC, or PBS. It wasn't mentioned on any of the Sunday morning interview shows, including CNN's State of the Union. A search of NPR.org found nothing. FoxNews.com reported "Capitol Hill rocked," but the story drew light mentions on air.
The Washington Post, the paper with the "Democracy Dies in Darkness" motto, couldn't apparently shed any light on this, despite Senator Cardin being from Maryland, in their newspaper's back yard.
The New York Times? Nothing.
Update: The ABC, CBS, and NBC morning shows continued the ongoing bias by omission.
