Why are Democrats who abuse their spouses not the subject of press exposure?

We really don't have to answer that question, do we?

Guy Benson at Townhall.com:

Since you've apparently taken such a keen interest in one Congressional candidate's possibly messy divorce, I thought I'd tip you off about another Congressional candidate's documented messy divorce. In Ohio's sixth Congressional District, recently uncovered court documents reveal that Rep. Charlie Wilson, a Democrat [Party Affiliation Redacted], repeatedly abused his ex-wife during their 27-year marriage. I know that you're aware of this race, John, because you wrote about it last week. Yet, like virtually all of your colleagues in the mainstream media, you've managed to overlook this story--which broke two days ago.

What's really interesting about the spousal abuse allegations against Congressman Wilson, John, is that they're fully chronicled in unsealed files--and all the documentation you'd need to verify this possibly game-changing development is conveniently provided by the source that originally reported the story. As a reporter, I'm sure you'd agree this represents substantially more persuasive sourcing than quotes from a political candidate's opponent about scuttlebutt he's supposedly heard from nameless third parties regarding nasty details of a sealed file he hasn't seen.

I just thought I'd give you a heads-up about the Wilson story because you still have time to "break" this "scoop" in the mainstream media. I'm a good guy like that.
