Bell city CA councilmen

[Paradox]

I sent an email to MSNBC and asked why the party affiliation of the Bell CA city councilmen were not identified in any of their news reports. Here was the reply.


The elected officials in Bell, CA, as in many California cities, are non-partisan office holders. They do not run with the support of any political party. For the purposes of this story it doesn't matter whether they're registered to vote as Democrats or as Republicans. The question here is did they loot the city's treasury to the tune of $5.5 million?

No doubt, great work there Paradox. I'm also surprised that you got a response from NBC, but not surprised that shady politicians from Kommifornia are Democrats. I also disagree that their party affiliation is irrelevant to the story, because you can bet your last dollar that had they been Republican it would have been included in the story.

With the response you got,that was a dead give away as to what party they were affiliated with.

The sad thing is that once released from jail, many of these politicians will hold public office again.

Bell nearly broke, faces drastic cuts, audit finds

Scandal-racked city, with a deficit of several million, may have to eliminate police and contract with the Sheriff's Department due to high salaries and pensions.

By Jeff Gottlieb and Ruben Vives, Los Angeles Times
December 18, 2010

Scandal-plagued Bell is hovering on the brink of insolvency and drastic cuts in city services — including disbanding the Police Department — probably will be necessary to fix its finances, according to a review of the city's books that Los Angeles County officials plan to release next month.

The report by the Los Angeles County auditor-controller paints the most dire financial picture yet of the southeast Los Angeles County city, where eight current and former city officials have been charged in a sweeping public corruption case. The findings were discussed with The Times by officials familiar with its contents who spoke on condition of anonymity because the document remains under wraps.

No chit. Even if they were actually "non-partisan" as the response claims, it would've gone something like "councilman Joe Smith, whose brother-in-law's sister's former roommate's best friend is a REPUBLICAN, will be headed to court today." Does anyone actually expect anything less from the station that employs Queef, The Munch, "Thrill Up My Leg" Matthews, or Ed "Obama just needs to be a dictator" Schultz?

MSM is just another liberal propaganda group. They wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the ass. And that's why I don't read their crap to begin with. Of course, with net neutrality coming, millions of dumbasses will be steered to their lies, and we will all suffer for it.
