Elizabeth Warren and why is ABC News all over this story and why the double standard? [View all]

So, I turn on my news of choice this AM, channel 5, and get a blockbuster story by them via ABC News, that there can be no verification of Elizabeth Warren's heritage as being part Cherokee. Now, remember, this is the former station of Scott Brown's wife Gail Huff, who refused to go on temporary leave while her husband ran for the Senate and also, Channel 5 never asked her to step aside. So, I go online and read the ABC News story and note that what Channel 5 reported isn't quite the same. ABC News isn't saying that there is no lineage, it just as of yet can't verify it via the channel they are using, the New England Genealogical Society. Politico is also supplying facts to ABC. So, channel 5 is reporting something that is not what ABC is actually reporting. Not surprising in the least as Channel 5 has been all over every negative story about Warren from the start. After every story they report that puts Elizabeth Warren in a bad light, they should be also saying Gail Huff is a former reporter here at Channel 5. They have never done this. They didn't even do it when she was working there while her husband ran for the Senate.

Which brings me to the double standard I had in mind and this concerns Senator Marco Rubio from FL, a VP candidate. Elizabeth Warren's problem goes back to her great great great grandmother and some supposed marriage paper and a story that has been passed down via the generations. Just supposing that that the paper doesn't exist, and that is still up to debate no matter what the Brown campaign would have you believe, and this has been a generational mistake, this would be something we could all understand and Elizabeth Warren could issue a statement and we could all move on. Compare this to Marco Rubio. He lied that his family fled a Castro Cuba to escape a brutal dictatorship. This is his generation, not a couple of generations removed where stories that get passed down can change. He knew when he came here and still lied about it. this story had some legs, mostly in LW blogs, but never had ABC News day after day digging into this story. And he is still a strong VP candidate. Where is the balance here? And why is ABC News so want to destroy Elizabeth Warren?
