[For more, see video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] ABC, CNN, MSNBC and PBS on Wednesday and Thursday all covered the "shocking" corruption involving the Democratic mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Fox News's Jamie Colby revealed, "There's another Democrat in trouble over accusations of corruption."
