(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) In the tumult that has engulfed the L.A. City Council after some of its members’ racist comments were made public, a grossly biased mainstream media has gone out of its way to hide the Democrat party affiliation of the politicians involved.
It took the scribes at the Associated Press a full eight paragraphs before noting, in brief passing in an article that has been updated, that the council members were Democrats.
That, at least, was six paragraphs better than Deadline’s coverage that filled an entire article, along with multiple updates, without directly mentioning the racist politicians’ party affiliation.
CNN also managed a lengthy epic without once using the word Democrat tied directly as a party affiliation to any of the offending council members. Axios also protected the racist commentators with the D-Shield, omitting direct party affiliation in both its so-called “Zoom out” and “big picture” coverage.
Ironically, the White House acknowledged that the L.A. council members were Democrats, while trying to blame the offending comments on Republicans and completely ignoring President Joe Biden’s long and sordid history of racist remarks.
“He believes that they all should resign,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said of Biden’s reaction to the news. “The language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable and it was appalling.”
“They should all step down and here’s the difference between Democrats and MAGA Republicans,” Jean-Pierre boasted. “When Democrats say something racist or anti-Semitic, we hold them, we hold Democrats accountable.”
The WH says the LA City Council members who made racist comments should resign, noting the parties’ differences:

The insurrectionist mouthpiece obviously forgot some of the “unacceptable” and “appalling” remarks spewed by her boss, who infamously eulogized former KKK member Democrat Sen. Robert Byrd as “one of my mentors.”
That’s for starters, recalled the Heritage Foundation, which noted numerous racist transgressions from Biden, including his claim that desegregating schools with forced busing would cause his children to “grow up in a racial jungle.”
But there’s no room for that kind of discourse in the Democrat Party, according to Biden’s prime spox.
“When a MAGA Republican says something racist or anti-Semitic, they are embraced by cheering crowds and become celebrated and sought after in endorsements,” she gaslighted.
“The president used to say and I quote the president right now, ‘hate never goes away, it only hides, but lately it’s out in the open at these extreme MAGA rallies.’”
Other Biden quotes are more illuminating.
Joe “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids” Biden?
Joe “I don’t want my kids going to school in a racial jungle” Biden?
Joe “you ain’t black” Biden?
Joe “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent” Biden?— Mister Fister, PhD 🤛🏻 (@FistOfSeduction) October 11, 2022
