    I thought the mainstream media was liberal, so why aren't they all over this?

    http://thinkprogress.org/home/2014/04/07/3423611/ron-johnson-kramer/

    This is really messed up. Not only is Kramer a complete scumbag if this is true, but Johnson is a scumbag for not reporting this to law enforcement or fellow politicians. With such serious allegations from a member of his own staff, shouldn't he have addressed this issue in some way, regardless of whether or not the alleged victim wanted anything done? This goes beyond what one alleged victim wants to happen for her sake or the party's sake.

    And again, if the media is so liberal, you'd think they'd be all over this one like crazy.

    if someone is sexually assaulted, you call the police yourself... don't depend on the group to do the right thing, even churches are known to not work in the victims best interests, call 911

    "They," as in one person? Now, compare that to the Anthony Weiner coverage.

    Fox News

    USA Today

    MSNBC

    Minneapolis Star Tribune.

    Seems to me that the media is covering the issue.

    agree, those a politician named "Weiner" sending a text of his 'weener' is kinda funny, that kinda stuff spreads like wild fire

    20 min in CNBC is some serious coverage. It is not like Rachel is the only one.
