(THREAD) Ever notice the media trend - it's decades old - not to mention the political affiliation of accused officials if they are Democrats? The slaying of Las Vegas reporter Jeff German by an elected county Democrat has the media daring not to name the suspect's party. (1)
Some stories, of course, mention the suspect's party affiliation, lower down. They kind of have to. Jeff German's stories caused Robert Telles to lose his primary a few weeks ago. But not NBC News. No mention at all in initial draft. (2)
The media knows many people do not read past the headline or first paragraphs. If a Republican had killed a reporter, that would be big news to the media. A Democrat, however, becomes a "politician" or "elected official." (3)
