Inappropriate Relationship

A prominent Republican lawmaker is in hot water after it was revealed he was having sexual relations with an executive at a financial institution while he was serving on a top congressional committee that oversaw such institutions. The lawmaker may have to resign after pressure has been applied by several major networks and newspapers have written scathing exposes revealing the scandal.

The above paragraph is completely true, except for the following minor corrections:

- It was a Democrat, Barney Frank, not a Republican. He served on the House Banking Committee overseeing Fannie Mae, where his lover worked as a top executive.

- He's not in hot water, and he won't be resigning, probably because the news has been totally ignored by almost every MSM outlet, who have not written squat about the scandal.

Double standard? What double standard?
