    NPR also downplayed Cunningham's party affiliation

    NPR also didn't make much of Cunningham's Republican affiliation. In the main news story (the 5 minutes at the top and bottom of the hour) they did not mention party at all. The in-depth story after the news summaries did mention he is a Republican, but there were no references to other ethical lapses by Republicans. Could this be that NPR is sensitive to the "liberal bias" label?
