“Rich Republicans” and “Democrats”

I was feeling testy yesterday and – having read some article that called poor, bird-shot riddled Mr. Whittington a “millionaire Republican” – wrote to a “professional journalist” pal and asked him, “why is it that a wealthy Republican is always a ‘wealthy’ Republican or a ‘millionaire’ Republican, while a Democrat – no matter how filthy rich – is always simply a ‘Democrat.'”

His answer: I dunno.

A few hours later, he emailed back with this: I googled “wealthy democrats” and got 965 responses. I googled “wealthy republicans” and got … 17,900.

Oh. THAT unbiased media! :-)

Speaking of unbiased, go check out Fausta’s comparisons on what is getting coverage and what is not:

Which photos are being shown on TV: Michael Totten’s, or Abu Ghraib?

What has CNN shown, the Mohammed cartoons, or more Abu Ghraib?

She has more.
