Historic Republican Victories for Congress go completely Un-Reported

by Eric Dondero

On Tuesday, Bob Turner won a seat in Congress in a New York District with a Democrat to Republican registration of 5 to 1. The seat had not been held by a Republican since 1923. To add even greater irony, and juiciness to the story, this was the famous Anthony Weiner seat.

In Nevada, Mark Amodei beat an attractive, well-funded, and highly-touted female Democrat candidate to win a congressional seat in Harry Reid's backyard.

A deuce for the GOP!

Arguably, the two special election victories could be seen as the biggest political stories of the year. But both the left media and the left-libertarian media (Reason, Cato.org, LewRockwell.com, Radley Balko, Nolan Chart, Daily Paul, Humble Libertarian, LP.org, ect...) completely ignored the story.

As did MSNBC's "award-winning" Journalist Rachel Maddow.

From NewsBusters "Maddow Can't Bear the Horror, the Horror of GOP House Victories in NY, Nevada":

What did Maddow focus on last night instead of those bellwether special elections? She interviewed Harvard professor, author and professional scold Elizabeth Warren about her challenge to GOP Senator Scott Brown. Then she chatted with former Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell about Republicans pushing a plan to apportion electoral votes in the state by congressional district. Following that Maddow spoke with JournoList refugee Spencer Ackerman on alleged anti-Muslim bias in FBI and police training.

Then came the week-old news of a neo-Nazi being sentenced in Washington state for an attempted bombing along the Martin Luther King parade route in Spokane last January, and the tale of two Kentucky brothers creating the website "Shermageddon" -- a play on the expected traffic nightmare of "Carmageddon" in California two months ago -- after the Sherman Minton Bridge linking Kentucky and Indiana was closed due to structural damage.

Left-libertarians, and Far leftists engaging in selective reporting of top political stories to fit their agenda.

Who would have ever thunk it?
