new jersey scandal – what’s missing from the coverage?

By American Girl in Italy on August 3, 2009 at 8:00 AM in Current Affairs, Daily Show, Democratic Party, Media Handling of Story, Sara in Italy

Could it be that all but one of those arrested were Democrats? Check out the coverage in this video – notice how everyone just dismisses the scandal as *ah, that’s just Jersey*. Do you think that has anything to do with the fact that all, but one, were Dems?

Thoughts?

  • listing starboard

    When the story first broke and no party affiliation was mentioned I googled the first few politicians mentioned and found out ther were Democrats. Therefore I knew that it would never be mentioned at all.

  • janicen

    It is interesting that so little mention was made of the political party to which the criminals belonged. Is the GOP slipping?

  • Tammy

    Um, no offense, but you’re getting your NEWS from the Daily Show?

  • tzada

    How much else has the MSM fed us or hid, before we woke up?

  • Adopted

    Plainly, Democrats aren’t held to the same standards as Republicans because if 40 Republicans sold blackmarket kidneys, I guarantee we would be having Larry King specials about the “party of corruption.”

    Instead, shrugs, it’s blown off as just a New Jersey thing. Funny, huh? Kinda reminds me of the “so what” that accompanies the latest Joe Biden gaffe vs. the excoriating that accompanies anything Sarah Palin says or does.

    Double Freakin’ Standard …

    Sorry for the brief off-topic. This is the biggest thing on the internet today – is it the smoking Kenyan birth certificate?

  • Ferd Berfle

    Um, you get your news from That One’s worshipers, aka the MSM? At least Stewart is not a bot.

  • jwrjr

    The only “standard” that Demolemmings are required to maintain is worship of The One. Everything else is forgiven or just not noticed.

  • Hank

    Mr. Honesty is having a birthday tomorrow, yet we hear of no celebrations. I guess they don’t want to talk about his birth.

  • thou-shalt

    MSM, thou shalt deflect attention from the jews, and pin the blame on “jersey”

    If there were any more real journalists anymore there would be an expose about his lack of accurate reporting. I believe that there is an unspoken agreement between these news organizations and the Democratic party. Collusion would be a mild term for it. Cabal (or a deal with the devil) a little closer. And yes it is a conspiracy. Perhaps Anti-Trust is much nearer the truth. Of course with the Obamanation Injustice Department dropping charges against the New Black Panther Party for obvious (and recorded) voter intimidation I have little faith that they would investigate something they created in the first place.

  • I’m a Linda too

    Of course that’s why, because if we remember-all to well, Governor Howard Dean started his term as Chairman of the Democratic Party with the talking points tha the Republican Party was the party of “Corruption” and he started his Corruption Tour of 2005.

    WHAT? It’s the Democratic Party of Corruption?

    uh oh, looks like the 06 and 08 elections went to the wrong party.

    Transplants are the least of our worries.

    Welcome to the future.

    Oregon says no to chemotherapy, offers assisted suicide instead.

    Blowback from the Election of 2000 led to the death of journalism. Name That Party has become SOP for the MSM.

  • oowawa

    What I’m wondering is, are black-market kidneys really sanitary? I mean, when Stewart was holding up the kidney in the zip-lock bag at the end of the vid, grinning like Vince Offer (Sham-Wow guy), I had to wonder if such kidneys, even if marketed by rabbis, are really kosher.

  • http://sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ American Girl in Italy

    um, no.

    i’m posting a funny video, where jon stewart provides a round up of the MSM coverage of a scandal, where 43 of the 44 arrested were democrats, but yet that was never mentioned, and not only was it not mentioned, it was excused as *eh, that’s just jersey.*

  • http://sarainitalyblog.blogspot.com/ American Girl in Italy

    Did you by chance watch the video before commenting?

  • Peggy Sue

    I think the reason we haven’t heard alot about this bombshell story is that it indicts so many from politically sensitive arenas. And it’s very, very ugly. Who is involved: the Dems, the State of New Jersey, the Orthodox Jewish community, Israel, the doctors and hospitals who performed these transplants, and by extension because of their refusal to give coverage, the MSM.

    I first read of this over on Cannonfire, and then heard a few trickles through the mainstream press. The whole thing is absolutely disgusting. Anyone involved should be thrown behind bars to rot. And if it makes the Dems in Jersey look bad? Tough.

    Btw, I’m a native of NJ. We’re not all amoral gangsters.

  • Docelder

    Interesting side note that Muslims don’t really celebrate birthdays as a festival type of an event. But, wait until Christmas if anybody thinks the birthday being a non event is a story. He has already intimated that we aren’t a Christian nation. We are a few months away from validation on that one.

  • Tex-Mex Soup

    Funny…. New Jersey bad bad corrupt politicians, however Illinois politicians….. saints (rolling my eyes)

  • inconsiderable wretch

    “something they created in the first place.” Aren’t the media owned by the same people that “created” (or concocted) BHO in the first place?

  • SN in MN

    You nailed it.

    Some of the organs were alledgedly removed and/or inserted at Ceder-Sinai. Good hygiene, not so good morality.

  • Animal Control

    You talkin to me?

  • politicalidentitycrisis

    Scary to think about, isn’t it?

    Could it be that all but one of those arrested were Democrats?

    I doubt that the Orthodox rabbis involved in the money laundering and kidney selling were Democrats.

    You nailed it.

    I see anti-Semitism is alive and well. The two of you sound exceptionally well-educated and informed.
