....We are now a week into the wall-to-wall coverage of the tape recorded fall of Senate seat auctioneer and sometime Illinois Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich. But there has always been a distinctly different tenor from the media in stories involving scandalized Democrats compared to their reports on corrupt Republicans.
During the 2006 mid-term elections, the news world was saturated with talk of a GOP "Culture of Corruption," a Democratic slogan repeated incessantly by the traditional media. The press cast three bad Congressmen and a single scamming lobbyist as representative of an entire Party gone bad, and their incessant drumbeat helped drive the GOP out of power.

Meanwhile, one prominent Democrat after another has been tinged with scandal, but the media has yet to stamp their Party as "Culturally Corrupt." ...

Interesting that you would post this on the day after this headline ran
Ex-Bush Aide Convicted In Abramoff Scandal

To somehow try to relate the total involved in scandals as 3 congressmen and one lobbyist is dishonest. 3 Congressmen were convicted but so were a lot of other people not counting those indicted or under investigation.

These are those found guilty in just the Abramoff scandal. Almost half of them are staff members of Republican congressmen

Plead guilty

Jack Abramoff
John Albaugh - staff
Jared Carpenter
Robert Coughlin
Italia Federici
J. Steven Griles
William Heaton - staff
Adam Kidan
Bob Ney
Tony Rudy - staff
Michael Scanlon - staff
Roger Stillwell
Neil Volz - staff
Mark Zachares - staff

Convicted
David Safavian - Bush Aide

Here is an extensive list of those indicted, convicted or under investigation. It is non partisan and includes Democrats.

Yes, the MSM is biased as evidenced by the most recent corrupt democrat surfacing in Ohio source

But I am somewhat surprised at how quickly the press has turned on Democrats since the election. Seems like every week, there's another story on corruption in elected Democrat officials. Just puts the lie to the mantra that Republicans are the party of corruption...

one should just acknowledge that the party in power is the party of corruption...
