I'm noticing media bias in the coverage of Jesse Jackson Jr.
Long story short, he used $750,000 of campaign money to fund his living and luxury expenses.

The New York Times Headline: Jesse Jackson JR pleads guilty.

The media is reporting this story without tying his corruption to the Democratic party. It's as if his actions aren't reflective of his party.
Republicans aren't afforded this luxury when they misstep.
When Todd Akin made his comments about legitimate rape, the media tied his remarks to the entire Republican party and their candidates.

Every time a Republican candidate made a misstep in the 2012 election, the media linked their misstep with the entire Republican party. Why don't they do the same with Jesse Jackson JR's corruption?
I can imagine the headlines if Jesse Jackson JR were a Republican..
