On Monday, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman resigned after multiple women came forward and accused him of violent physical abuse, and from the way many media outlets reported the story, readers wouldn’t know that Schneiderman is a Democrat.
Schneiderman’s political affiliation is important enough that the original source of the story— The New Yorker, which is a left-leaning publication — mentioned in the first two lines of its report that Schneiderman is a “liberal Democratic champion of women’s rights.”
