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,
like I said before, Rush bores me, I don't listen to talk radio..

But....doesn't the mother ship claim that the Washington Post is not
fair
and balanced? Are you allowed to read it? You might want to pull down
the
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

My paper is the Journal Inquirer... Hartford CT area.. And you are
lieing again, I never said I was happy, I just noted it.. period..
stop putting words in my mouth. You and Harrry seem to be pretty good
at that.

If you live in New England, you would have to be pretty ignorant of
your surroundings not to know who Elliot Spitzer is. Add to that the
fact that the stories you are looking at are filed from NEW YORK,
where it would be pretty silly to mention that Spitzer is a democrat
every time his name is printed. How often do they put the word
Republican after the name of Jodie Rell, Governor of Connecticut? I
think you'll find that they occasionally mention it when it is
actually pertinent to the story, and pretty much never as part of a
headline or lead paragraph unless it's a story about the republican
party position on something.

Yep. Like this:

"But while the Republican governor limited most of her proposed new spending
to a few criminal justice initiatives, majority Democrats in the legislature
say they want to do a few things Rell did not."

That's an example of the word serving a useful purpose, rather than
justifying some attitude the reader needs to hang onto.

And I'd be willing to bet that it was way down in the story. If the
newshole is small, they cut from the bottom. Newspaper reporters are
taught to write their stories with the most important information
early, and the filler afterwards in case of the very likely event that
it needs to be shortened without harming the overall meaning. In the
days of actual "paste up" this sort of chopping from the bottom to
make things fit was usually done "on the fly" by the compositors
pasting up the pages, not actual editors in the newsroom.- Hide quoted text -

You must mean the "overall meaning" of leaving all the felony charges
out, to make room for the account of how his wife must feel? Pfffftt..
