ABC, CBS Hype Fall of Republican Party's 'Rising Star' (NewsBusters)
A day after CBS avoided using the "Democrat" label for the scandal-plagued Jesse Jackson Jr., the network on Friday made sure to identify "Republican" Aaron Shock for a story on the resignation of the congressman. Guest co-host Vladimir Duthiers informed, "The Republican compared himself to Abraham Lincoln in his farewell speech."
On ABC's Good Morning America, guest co-host David Muir referred to the "disgraced congressman." Jon Karl made sure to note, "Schock had been one of the Republican Party's fastest rising stars in the House and the only one to hit the cover of Men's Health."
