Joe Courtney and the Lapdog Press

Why is the Left Afraid of Daria and Sarah?

Curiously absent from ECSU’s news release among the names of candidates that will speak at the Conservative Candidates Forum was Republican congressional candidate Daria Novak.

Was this an honest oversight? It would be naive to think so. Every other candidate I am aware of was mentioned, but not the lady that is likely to be Congressman Joe Courtney’s successor.

Elsewhere in the same edition of the Willimantic Chonicle was an article about a speech Sarah Palin gave at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. The Chronicle purposely used an unflattering picture of the beautiful Palin in a conspicuous attempt to portray her as foolish. When the Chronicle runs a picture of President Obama they always use one that makes him look regal. Further the Reuters wire story described Palin as a “polarizing figure” yet they never describe Obama that way when he is even more so.

Why is it that liberals can’t tell a story straight when it comes to conservative women? Are they that afraid of conservatives with two X chromosomes that they have to stoop to these low-ball tactics?

Snake Skin

What reason can Hartford Courant Editor Naedine J. Hazell give for printing four photos of politicians accused of corruption on the September 3rd Front Page and only listing the party of the sole Republican?

"Republican Councilwoman Veronica Airey-Wilson's" co-defendants were not identified by their political affiliation in their captions under their photos including Mayor Eddie Perez.

Why not?

Click on the photo so you can read it. There was no mention of Perez's political affiliation -- or anyone else's -- besides Wilson's until the ninth paragraph on Page Two. Why is it that when Democrat gets into trouble he sheds his political affiliation in news reports, but when a Republican does the same her first name becomes "Republican"?
