A US Democrat errs and the newsrooms stay silent

A Tangled Web alerts me to the story of the US Democratic party fund-raiser and his 12 years prison sentence for bank fraud. This man, Hassan Nemazee was a top fundraiser for Hillary Clinton but the news media is silent. Can you imagine the headlines if this had been about a fundraiser for John McCain or Sarah Palin? But it's not about a Republican, it;s about a Democrat and so the story is of no interest to the BBC.

Well it is a difficult one for Beeboids. A democrat from a muslim background, but from a family who supported the Shah of Iran. Isn't the world complicated ?
