Bias? Not at the New York Times!

We all know it takes the media a lot of extra effort and time to designate the political party of scandal participants. Imagine my shock when I saw this in the first sentence of a story:

The former treasurer of a Republican Congressional fund-raising committee may have stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars by submitting elaborately forged audit reports for five years using the letterhead of a legitimate auditing firm, a lawyer for the committee said Thursday.

No liberal bias here. I wonder how their circulation is doing. Good thing they want lower circulation.
