The Media - Guilty on this on!
Some reports about media bias are arguable.
This one clearly is NOT.
I know you can say that party ID doesn't matter in this particular case; however, if it were the OTHER party, I'm sure it would be included in the story.

Lachlan Markay has the story at NewsBusters.org:
"Today, eight city council members were arrested in Bell, California for what Los Angeles County District Attorney labeled "corruption on steroids." Thus far, every major news outlet that has reported on the story has omitted the fact that all eight individuals arrested are Democrats.
These glaring omissions come only weeks after NewsBusters reported that of the 351 stories on the then-brewing controversy, 350 had omitted party affiliations, and one had mentioned they were Democrats only in apologizing for not doing so sooner."
