Ohhh THAT liberal media

Compare CNN's coverage of Kwame Kilpatrick and Larry Craig.

Here's some excerpts from the Craig article outlining his politics and party affiliation:
A Republican senator pleaded guilty earlier this month to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge stemming from his arrest at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to state criminal records.

...

In recent years, Craig's voting record has earned him top ratings from social conservative groups such as the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council.

He has supported a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, telling his colleagues that it was "important for us to stand up now and protect traditional marriage, which is under attack by a few unelected judges and litigious activists."

In 1996, Craig also voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies federal recognition to same-sex marriages and prevents states from being forced to recognize the marriages of gay and lesbian couples legally performed in other states.

Craig has also opposed expanding the federal hate crimes law to cover offenses motivated by anti-gay bias and, in 1996, voted against a bill that would have outlawed employment discrimination based on sexual orientation, which failed by a single vote in the Senate.

Craig has endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the 2008 presidential race. The senator was named in February, along with Sen. Robert Bennett of Utah, as Romney's liaison to build support among GOP senators.

It mentions that he is a Republican, social conservative, etc. Now here's some excerpts from the Kilpatrick article outlining some similar information in lieu of his own sex scandal. Oh wait. There isn't any. It doesn't even identify Kilpatrick as a Democrat. Splendid balanced coverage CNN. Kudos to you. I think I'm going to stop linking to CNN from now on.
