Two men, different party affiliations, both House Representatives, and Google news searches, show an overwhelming tilted focus on the Republican Rep. with barely a drop in the bucket on the Democratic Rep.
Todd Akins, the Republican, makes a boneheaded comment about "legitimate rape" and the media, liberals and conservatives give him a massive amount of hell for it, rightly so. Google news search using the key words "Todd Akin" produces 3,551 news articles, according to the Google search page.

Kerry Gauthier, the Democrat, has oral sex with a 17 year old boy behind a rest stop pavilion in Duluth after the teen responded to Gauthier’s Craigslist ad looking for a “no strings attached” sex.
Google news search using the key words "Kerry Gauthier" produces 175 news articles, according to the Google search page.

A few more noteworthy points here.
• The incident with Gauthier was reported 5 days ago, August 16, 2012, so by rights should have had more exposure, more news articles, since Akin's controversial comments swept the media headlines on Sunday and Monday, August 19-20, 2012 and continues to dominate political headlines today.
• DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Shultz and liberal media personalities attempted to tie Romney to Akin's remarks and demanded he denounce Akin's stupid comments, which he did immediately by calling them offensive, insulting and more.
• No media personality in searches has been found that attempts to tie Obama to Gauthier nor asked him to denounce having sex with a 17 year old boy.
• Obama made a rare White House press corp availability and took a few questions and declared "rape is rape" weighing in on Akins remarks, which happened days after the news broke about Gauthier, but there is absolutely no mention, anywhere, of Obama denouncing nor making a public statement about behavior unbecoming to a Representative in conjunction to Gauthier having oral sex with a 17 year old boy.
This is the difference on how anything done by a Republican gets reported on compared to how the media reports on Democrats and the same type of hypocrisy is displayed by the liberal blogosphere and pundits.
Democratic, liberal, media, and Obama hypocrisy on full display.
