Gun Counter Gomer (R-Goober) sniffs out media bias no matter where it hides:
Read the lede and guess the candidate's political party. Just don't count on finding it in the first six paragraphs:...and the link takes you to the Action News Team at WDSU. Nice catch, Goob. All the other bloggers took the easy way out and went to obscure news sources like the AP:

One of the stranger racist incidents you’ll ever hear of:Now granted the first line could have read:

Democrat Rep. Carla Blanchard "Democrat" Dartez, a Democrat, acknowledged that she was a Democrat when she ended a Thursday night conversation with a bunch of Democrats from the Democrat Party......but AP has been on a brevity kick as of late.

Democrats and America Haters (but I repeat myself) each and every one of them.
