Every time a Republican screws up the liberal media puts his/her party affiliation in the first paragraph and keeps mentioning the fact they are a Republican over and over again. However when a Dem gets in trouble the same liberal media seldom mentions their political affiliation
The latest example is Bob Filner the former Mayor of San Diego
This morning, Bob Filner (D) was sentenced to "90 days home confinement as punishment for three criminal charges connected to the sexual harassment scandal that ended his term as San Diego mayor," according to NBCSanDiego.com (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Former-Mayor-Bob-Filner-to-Be-Sentenced-Monday-234905381.html) staffers Monica Garske and R. Stickney, who failed to mention Filner's Democratic Party affiliation in their story.
But Garske and Stickney are not alone among their peers in omitting Filner's party affiliation. Besides NBCNews.com -- which linked to the aforementioned NBC San Diego story -- ABCNews.com (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/12/ex-san-diego-mayor-sentenced-to-home-confinement/), and CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/09/justice/ex-san-diego-mayor-bob-filner-sentencing/index.html) all similarly left out reference to the California Democrat's party allegiance. CBSNews.com (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ex-san-diego-mayor-sentenced-for-harassing-women/) and FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/12/09/ex-san-diego-mayor-sentenced-to-home-confinement-probation-for-harassment/?intcmp=latestnews) ran an Associated Press story which mentioned Filner's political persuasion in the final paragraph. MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.com/news-nation/ex-san-diego-mayor-sentenced) also omitted the Democratic label from their story, although, curiously, the story was filed under a "Democrats" topic tag (see screen capture below):

You might think that Filner's repeated, egregious, offensive, and unwanted episodes of harassment of female staffers would warrant placement under the topic tag "war on women" (http://www.msnbc.com/topics/war-women) -- yes, there is one (http://www.msnbc.com/topics/war-women) at MSNBC.com -- but as you can see, that's not the case.
