GOP scandal? Report the scandal immediately, perhaps even before fact checking.
Dem scandal? Hold the report until the scandal is denied or explained, and report the denial/explanation of the scandal.
That way, the Lefties can always say that the MSM reports on all scandals.
I pointed this specifically when the IRS scandal was coming down. The very first time that CNN reported on the story was to report that the White House had denied the story. They withheld reporting for several days because the White House took so long to deny it.
