How ’bout that? The beloved (D) is quickly dispensed with when it can’t be used by the lapdog media to provide cover for an increasingly disturbing record of sexual harassment. Who could’ve predicted that would happen in coverage of San Diego Mayor Bob Filner?
After the indefatigable Ace of Spades pointed out CNN’s glaring omission on Twitter, Breitbart News’ Mary Chastain reviewed CNN’s reporting on more than a dozen allegations of “unwanted advances” made by Filthy Filner.

Lucianne Goldberg of Lucianne.com snarkily asked if maybe it’s just assumed that pervs are affiliated with the Democrats.
@NolteNC @BreitbartNews If it's a sex scandal maybe being a democrat is just assumed?

Maybe by careful (and honest) watchers of politics, but by the MSM? Not so much. This is CNN:
oh big shock: A commenter "USA" notes this @cnn article http://t.co/nuCdk4WV0P "Forgot" to mention Filner's party affiliation

always a shock from the media, eh? (R) goes right in the headline, (D) gets completely scrubbed out of the MinTruth files.

If Filner were a republican would you have similarly suppressed that particular fact? @KyungLahCNN
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
I have to think at this point the media understands that the Democrat Party covered up for Filner; they just refuse to report it.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
There are no excuses; they cannot claim that, like Gosnell (laugh), they "just didn't know"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
Not a single national media outlet has reported that @lorisaldanasd brought these complaints to @chairjessdurfee years ago.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
Not a single national media outlet has reported that @lorisaldanasd says she was threatened with a blackball if she didn't support Filner.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
in fact, @cnn's @KyungLahCNN went so far to scrub Filner's party identification out of her article.

Spot-on:
the media's eternal song as regards Democrat scandals http://t.co/64vqMFdMzH

actually "Our Lips are Sealed" IS about covering up a sexual transgression — the singer for Fun Boy Three wrote the lyrics for Jane Weidlin
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
to encourage her during the period they were cheating together on the FUn Boy Three singer's fiancee

And the democrats sing:
Hush my darling
don't you cry
darling angel
ignore their lies— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
There's a weapon
that we can use
in our defense
Si-i-lence— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
can you hear them?
talking 'bout us?
telling lies, well that's no surprise…
Our lips are sealed
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
@trueholygoat @CNN I see now, @KyungLahCNN apparently doesn't know which party FIlner belongs to and didn't care to google it.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) August 7, 2013
Oh, come on, Ace. This “Google” site is kind of obscure, no?
since @cnn and @KyungLahCNN don't know Filner's political affiliation, maybe this will clue them in http://t.co/8DC3tiLrO2
