Not the Republicans, that other political party

The Associated Press does it again. Nowhere in this story does it mention that Sen. Bob Mellow is the top-ranking Democrat in the Pennsylvania Senate.

The wire service routinely leaves out the party affiliation when Democrats are under investigation or are charged with a crime.See for yourself:

HARRISBURG — An FBI official says agents have executed search warrants at the home and district office of a top Pennsylvania state senator.
FBI spokesman Frank Burton Jr. said Friday that the agents are investigating allegations of illegal activity by Senate Minority Leader Bob Mellow.
Burton says the investigation is a joint operation between the IRS and the FBI.
He says the agents arrived in the morning at Mellow's Scranton-area home and office, but Burton wouldn't say what they were seeking or discuss the allegations.
Messages left for Mellow and his staff were not immediately returned.
Mellow is the state Senate's longest-serving member and is retiring at the end of this year.
