In case you missed it, College Park, Maryland, Mayor Patrick Wojahn has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of child pornography, less than 24 hours after resigning from office. It’s all over the news:
The mayor of College Park, Md., was arrested Thursday morning and has been charged with 56 counts of possession and distribution of child pornography. https://t.co/WrzWEZGSKd

This guy sounds like seriously bad news. What else can WaPo tell us about him?
Hey @washingtonpost … Name That Party! https://t.co/WPvH2kQ9v3

Name that party? But where’s the fun in that? Totally ruins the sense of mystery and surprise!
Narrator: There’s no mystery, and it’s no surprise that WaPo would leave a very important detail out of their headline. It’s also no surprise that WaPo wouldn’t be the only outlet to do so:

Surely Twitter’s character limit wasn’t an issue.

Did anyone covering this story think Wojahn’s party affiliation was worth mentioning?

The article linked above doesn’t mention that Wojahn is a Democrat.
This guy is senior front page editor for HuffPost and he doesn’t seem curious about Wojahn’s party:

So weird how this sort of thing keeps happening when Democratic politicians get busted behaving badly.
Zero mention in the entire story of his party affiliation when a Democrat mayor is arrested for child porn.
Right there in the headline when it’s a “former Republican staffer.” pic.twitter.com/paC1rXzEJn

To be clear, we’re not trying to suggest that sexual predation is politically motivated or has anything to do with political party. But our media need to decide if the public deserves to know the party affiliation of a politician who’s a sexual predator. And if the answer is yes, they have to apply the rules to Democrats and Republicans equally. Otherwise we’re just going to have to keep calling them out.
