Sex scandals and media bias (update)

Further to this item on the way Republicans involved in US sex scandals tend to have their political party identified whilst Democrats don't, here's another example from the BBC. Kwame Kilpatrick, the Mayor of Detroit, is having a few problems regarding inappropriate text messages sent to his (female) Chief of Staff. Mr Kilpatrick is charged with perjury, obstruction of justice and misconduct in office and faces a maximum of 15 years in jail; serious charges. Take a look at the two BBC web pages that I could find regarding Mr Kilpatrick and see if you can discover which party he represents - 31 Jan report and 25 March report.

Why so coy BBC? I am sure that if this had been a Republican Mayor you would have described him as "Republican Mayor ...". The BBC unbiased by charter, biased by nature.

I think you meant Democrats when you wrote "Republicans don't"
