Larry Craig Gay Sex Headlines + Hillary Clinton Illegal Donations Headlines = Larry Craig Headlines

In a previous posting I titled Here Is "The Rule" I noted that if a Republican gets in hot water his party is identified in the MSM. If a Democrat gets in trouble, his party is not identified and the lack of party identification automatically meant that it was a Democrat. That rule holds today. However, using my double secret undercover operatives stashed in a number of Major Media Outlets, I have uncovered "The Rule v 2.0" and that is that when there are two competing headlines, one involving the dastardly actions of a Republican and one involving the dastardly actions of a Democrat, the Republican story is the one that gets the most play. For example. Larry Craig was recently busted for "seeking" gay sex in the men's room at the airport. At the same time, Hillary Clinton was discovered to have accepted mucho cash from very strange sources, most likely illegal and from many of the same sources as got her husband in trouble in 1996.

A Google Search for Larry Craig + Gay Sex yields 1,430,000 hits, that reads ONE MILLION FOURHUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND hits. A Google Search for Hillary Clinton + Illegal Campaign Contributions yields 686,000 hits. That reads SIX HUNDRED AND EIGHTYSIX THOUSAND hits or slightly less than 48% of the number of hits for Larry Craig.

Now, what do you suppose can be read from this simple fact? Easy, The Rule v 2.0 and that is "Given Competing Headlines, A headline/story about bad Republican behavior outweighs a headline/story about bad Democrat behavior."

You would think the powers that be in the MSM would catch on that we have them figured out.

I also might mention that there are whispers of The Rule v 3.0 out there, I'll stick my operatives on it and report back as soon as I can confirm it.

I think you are forgetting the very first rule SSS-1.0. I remember a story of one musician, Mr. George Michael cruising the bathrooms ala Larry Craig, at a public park, this made news around the world. There was the Hugh Grant cruising Hollywood scandal also world wide news.

I also remember your favorite president receiving a little satisfaction at his desk, I don’t speak Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Italian, Portuguese, Cantonese, Farsi, and etc…..but I heard the words “Monica Lewinsky” pronounced in a hundred different languages.

SS - From what I've seen of media coverage over the years, I think on this occasion you have the better argument. Sort of a derivative of Occam's Razor: "don't infer conspiracy if pandering fits the bill".
