Here's a bit from *my* local paper:

Spitzer to Step Down as N.Y. Governor
Embattled *Democrat* Apologizes for His 'Private Failings'

By Keith B. Richburg and Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, March 13, 2008; A01

NEW YORK, March 12 -- New York Gov. Eliot L. Spitzer, a rising
*Democratic* Party star who won election 16 months ago as a crusading
reformer against corruption, announced his resignation Wednesday after
being ensnared in a federal investigation that exposed his double life
as a longtime regular client of high-priced prostitutes.

With his wife, Silda Wall Spitzer, at his side, Spitzer apologized for
what he said were "my private failings" and said he is stepping down so
as not to "disrupt the people's work." He said the resignation will take
effect Monday, to give his successor, Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson, time
to make a smooth transition.

Good, I will add it to the list, so far we are 3-1... Thanks, and BTW,

But....doesn't the mother ship claim that the Washington Post is not fair

shades while doing so.

The Washington Post is not fair and balanced by anyone's standards except
Harry's.

It's fair when the person reading it sees what he wants to see. In this
case, it made JWFM happy because it associated Spitzer with the word
"Democratic". Tomorrow, it may not please him as much.- Hide quoted text -

newspaper can't alter words in any articles they publish from AP.

There's no such agreement. Newspapers cut and edit wire stories as a

http://www.journalinquirer.com/site/...pitzer&x=0&y=0

A search for "spitzer" turned up 5 results. The first two articles identify
him as a Democrat. The other three do not. This may prove my theory: The
newspaper assumes that unless you're living in a cave, you know by now that
Spitzer's a Democrat.

When I was studying journalism, we were taught to make sure every word we
wrote served the one and only goal: To tell the story.

Crazy idea: Write to the paper and ask why they don't include the word
"Democrat" in articles about Spitzer. You're guessing the reasons. I suspect
they assume (correctly) that smart people already know Spitzer's party
affiliation, and smart people (who have a life) realize it doesn't matter at
all. But, you could find out for sure.

You claim to be a smart guy. When you read an article about a Governor
involved with prostitutes and the Governor's political party affiliation
is not provided in the article you can only come to one conclusion.

It's all about consistency and fairness. Either you provided the
political party affiliation for all elected officials or for no elected
officials. Providing political party affiliation for some and not others
shows bias.

Think about articles you're seeing about Spitzer TODAY. Not yesterday or the
day before. ***TODAY***

Now, tell me why mentioning his party affiliation TODAY adds any meaningful
content. I'm the journalism professor, you're the student. Why would you
include that information TODAY, knowing that it had already been mentioned
plenty in prior days.

Either you are consistent and you identify the political party

the news quite a bit lately and we can forgo identificaiton isn't in any
of the style guides.
