The Daily Caller released a story that should have headlined all the major newspapers in North Carolina: The Democratic Party is caught covering up a sexual harassment case.Out of all of the major newspapers that litter North Carolina, the News and Observer is the only one that reported it:
The state Democratic Party faces serious questions about a secret settlement agreement with a former staffer who was fired after raising concerns about being harassed by a superior, according to documents and interviews.
A member of the party’s executive committee, Watt Jones, sent a complaint to Party Chairman David Parker in March asking about the allegations and financial settlement with the former employee, urging him to “clean up this mess before it gets worse.”
“If this hits the media, the Democratic Party, our candidates and our credibility are doomed in this election,” wrote Jones, according to a copy obtained by The News & Observer
The staffer’s firing has caused consternation within the party ranks for months. A party spokesman told The News & Observer in December he could not comment on an internal personnel matter.
Soon after the staffer left, former longtime party administrator Sallie Leslie quit. “The unethical actions by party leadership, of which I will not be a part of or have my reputation be associated with such” caused her to leave, she told The News & Observer on Friday.
Let’s get this straight. The News and Observer knew about this back in December and didn’t report it. If this had been the Republican Party, these leftist rags would have headlined this scandal all the way to November.
The Democratic Party isn’t the only organization that has a credibility problem; so do the newspapers in North Carolina.
