Following the
practice of other media outlets, the 3pm PST (6pm EST) top-of-the-hour
headlines on ABC
News Radio failed to identify
Rep. William
Jefferson as a Democrat. The Democratic congressman is
under investigation for bribery after being caught on videotape
accepting $100,000.
The report, about 30 seconds long, alternately referred to Rep.
Jefferson as a "Congressman" and "Louisiana Congressman." However, the
story never tagged him as a Democrat.
"Culture of corruption," anyone?
