Media Bias considering Newt?

[coloradodem2005]

When the disgraced Speaker of the House Jim Wright resigned in 1989, ABC's Jim Wooten gave America these almost tearful words:

And if his moving speech today does not restore those decencies he so wistfully remembered today, then perhaps history will remember that at least he tried.
When Majority Whip Tony Coelho quit a few days later, Barbara Walters, also of ABC News, waxed poetic about his passing:

It seems to be a personal tragedy as well as perhaps one for the country.
But how do you suppose ABC News treated Newt Gingrich on the day after his resignation in 1998? Carole Simpson was the newscaster that day. She said:

Good evening. A new poll from ABC News shows Americans will not miss Newt Gingrich. Seventy percent approve of his decision to step down as Speaker of the House. And ninety percent say his successor should try harder to work with the Democrats instead of against them.
It would be easy to gloss over this recurring theme of media bias, but you just can't avoid it. And you damn sure can't avoid it when you're speaking of Newt Gingrich. Newt became the poster child for the American left during the Clinton years. You couldn't see an advertisement for a Democrat during that period without seeing a picture of his opponent in some either real or Photoshopped embrace with Newt.
