Strikingly absent from the article however is the party affiliation of this particular judge. I myself have learned that when the politician or person in question is a Democrat this information is almost always left out of the articles completely, forcing the reader to just wonder or to go and investigate themselves through the internet the information, which most don't have the time nor the inclination to do so. The media knows this and employs it's use all the time as most fair minded people know.
However, when this individual in question is a Republican not only is that information provided to the reader it's usually embedded right in the headline so that even if the reader doesn't opt to read the story they still see one thing; Republicans and Corruption. Works pretty good I must say when the entire mass media conspires to adhere to this liberal newsroom rule of thumb.
Former Judge Faces 20 Years In Prison For Mafia Dealings
Investigations News Story - WNBC | New York: "NEW YORK -- A former Nassau County judge pleaded guilty Friday to trying to launder more than $400,000 for members of the Genovese crime family.
David Gross, 45, admitted he agreed to try to launder the cash he knew was the result of a jewelry heist. What Gross did not know is that one of the men he was making the deal with was an undercover FBI agent.
Federal prosecutors said Gross planned to keep up to 20 percent of all cash he agreed to launder. He also agreed to try to sell more than $280,000 worth of stolen diamonds." continued
Trust me that the entire article makes no mention of the fact that this judge is a Democrat. I know this because (A) I read the article twice and (B) I then had to search the internet for about 3 minutes to get this info, which came surprisingly I must admit from the New York Times, but only grudgingly and in a 2 year old story marking his arrest for these charges found here.
Staying with this theme there is an Op Ed in today's Chicago Sun Times highlighting Barak Obama's flimsy 5 point plan to end corruption in Washington after he is elected of coarse, not now while he's a legislator mind you. As we all know, he's just too darn busy jetting coast to coast running for president to enact any laws back home, neglecting his Illinois Senatorial duties in order to do so, just as all the other senators running are doing, mostly on the left by the way.
We have Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich who are all holding (except Edwards) and neglecting one job while looking openly for another one.
How's this for a new law Senators; no candidates for president may come from the pool of elected officials presently holding offices while campaigning on the publics dime and time.
You'll never see that one on the list of reforms badly needed. These people work for 1/4 of their terms spending the other three quarters of the time seeking higher office or re election. What a scam they have going here that we voters tolerate. Unbelievable.
Please name me one other profession in America where one can safely hold down one job and then take off months and months of work while being payed from there as they openly look for a new and better employment? Anybody? Didn't think so.
So BTW, here's the Obama plan man:
• • People who work for his administration and leave will be prevented from becoming lobbyists during his term in office.
• • Abuse of no-bid contracts will end.
• • Gifts from lobbyists will be banned.
• • Qualified people, not cronies for White House positions, will be hired.
• • Government will be made more transparent -- for example, by using the Internet to publicize bills to be signed by the president.
Just another slick empty suit making BS promises he cannot nor will not keep.
These politicians are always for reform on the campaign trail, to take effect after of coarse they are elected to the next higher office, knowing da** well any legislation of this type wouldn't pass any governmental body in the United States, much less congress and the senate on a cold day in he**.
The entire Op Ed makes mention of only Republican scandals and corrupted officials, the same old usual suspects they trot out time after time. Trent Lott, Tom Delay, Duke Cunningham, Tom Foley, Edwin Meese, you know the list. But not a single Democrat is mentioned, not a one.
This in spite of the fact that there are several under indictment right now as we speak, The most egregious offender on that list would be the infamous Willie Frigidaire Jefferson of coarse. Then no mention of John Murtha, although she brings up ABSCAM, no Feinstein, Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, all at one time under ethics investigations and on and on and on..
Read it for yourself here, it's quite amusing to see the Fawning over Barack that we get here in Chicago day after day after day. The nation gets inundated with this bunk as well, but not to the nauseating degree we do locally, please trust me on that one. The Real Deal, The Black Lincoln, The New Deal, etc etc. PUKE PUKE PUKE I say.
