In today's story about the Seattle Mayor resigning due to scandal, did anyone see the MSM/newspapers /website include the words "Democrat" or "Underage" in the headline?

Focusing on the fact that we found out about the horrifying pedocracy from some lefties' emails doesn't mean it's the most salient part. Both aisles.

It's a sign of media bias, Einstein.

Which we all know exists. It undermines the valid concerns of people who want to out this, because it can spun as people out to get democrats.

CNN refers to it as "child sex abuse" in its headlines.
Mainstream news doesn't typically put party in the headline unless its relevant to the story, like a Republican senator breaking ranks on a vote for a GOP-led bill or something.
In this case the mayor's party is denoted within the first paragraph typically. Anyway that's how it would normally break down in news manual style-writing.

Lived in Seattle years a few years ago. This is the fifth allegation against him, which if I recall, is his cousin. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I'm surprised it took this long for him to be ousted since these allegations came out months and months ago.

Last one i can find. But for the most part, AP, Rueters, huffpost, ijr, opposing views, vox, vice, etc... all just say sex abuse or something. No mention of the very serious underage child in the headline.

Yes to both counts. I read one article and it had the entire story with all necessary info.
