I'd seen your bracketed insertion of Waltz's party affiliation before I'd posted, and should have mentioned that you'd put it in. Or I shouldn't have posted at all... My larger point that I had been trying to make was that the article for which you provided the link didn't list Waltz's party affiliation. That had initially made me suspect biased reporting, and I wrote an unresearched response. But on looking today at the Website where the article was posted, Indy Politics, I see now that the author, Abdul Hakim-Shabazz, who appears to write most all the articles for the Web site, is not right-leaning, and the article was likely written with the assumption that the Website's Indiana-based readers would know the party affiliation of their former senator.

Thanks for all the articles you post with news from all over the US & territories!
