The last time there was an off-cycle Senate election, investigative reporting was the decisive factor in the race.

The enterprising work of the Washington Post, among others, revealed that the former Alabama Supreme Court justice turned Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore had repeatedly engaged in inappropriate behavior with teenage girls. A trio of Post reporters tracked down four of those women, who attested on-the-record to Moore’s revolting behavior.

Fast forward three years to a Senate race in which another set of lurid allegations has surfaced, this time involving Democratic candidate Raphael Warnock.

The difference: their political affiliation.

Like Moore, the allegations against Warnock involve the abuse of underage children decades ago. They center on a Maryland church camp where a young Warnock served in a senior role, and where he was arrested in 2002 for obstructing a police investigation into alleged abuses taking place on camp grounds.

Moore’s misdeeds received wall-to-wall coverage from the national news media. Republicans were pressed to disavow him.

The news media so determined to reveal Moore’s scandalous behavior have been lethargic, to say the least, when it comes to Warnock: The Democrat has been allowed to wave away the arrest as the "overzealous actions of a few police officers."

But what was going on at the camp that brought the police there in the first place? And what was Warnock’s role in those incidents? The press hasn’t exhibited the slightest curiosity about events that speak directly to Warnock’s management abilities and judgment.

-----------------

If nothing else motivates the fence sitters, it should be this. Compare how the media has run cover for Warlock versus what they did to Roy Moore in Alabama.

Do you want the Washington Compost to elect a Georgia Senator?

the media is the mouthpiece for the democrat party. Why would they try to kill one of their own?

None of this should surprise anyone on either side....

There are no fence sitters. The one thing Democrats do better than anyone is back their candidate no matter what. Had the Republicans done that in this race and got behind ONE candidate there would be no runoff. Doug Collins should've bowed out before the primary.
