Did they leave off his party affiliation like AP, Reuters, BBC, NBC,MSNBC
and CBS did? What media bias?



What are you talking about?


New York Times:
=========================================
Mr. Spitzer’s term is set to expire at the end of 2010; if he were to
resign, Lt. Gov. David A. Paterson, 53, a fellow Democrat, would take
his place. If Mr. Paterson refused to serve as governor by himself
resigning, the temporary president of the State Senate — currently
Joseph L. Bruno, 78, the Republican majority leader — would act as
governor until a special election to be held this November.

Reuters:
==========================================
Spitzer, a Democrat, apologized to his family and the public on Monday
for a "private matter" and said he had "failed to live up to the
standard that I expect of myself," but he made no reference to The New
York Times report.

Spitzer has not been charged in the case of the multimillion-dollar
prostitution ring.

AP:
===========================================
The scandal drew immediate calls for the Democrat to step down. At a
news conference before about 100 reporters, a glassy-eyed Spitzer, his
shellshocked wife at his side, apologized to his family and the people
of New York.

NBC:
===========================================
According to court documents, the 48-year-old Democrat was picked up
last month on federal wire tap after allegedly seeking the services of a
prostitute named "Kristen."

CBS:
============================================

"Eliot Spitzer was supposed to be the guy that refurbished the
Democratic party and cleaned up Albany, so this is much more shocking
than it would be for any other incumbent," political consultant Norman
Adler told CBS 2.
