The news before it happens.

The Financial Times reports the guilty plea by Michael Scanlon to charges of fraud. Although there's scant evidence in the story to justify the headline, Threat of federal charges against DeLay grows. Actually the story waits until the tenth paragraph to tell the reader that
Although Mr DeLay’s earlier indictment on unrelated money laundering charges forced him to give up his seat as majority leader in the House of Representatives, it is unclear how strong the case against the Texas Republican is.
The rest of the story brings up connections to DeLay over and over. You'd think that DeLay was accused of being involved.

He still could be, but there is nothing to suggest that he's even being investigated. His connection to this case is pure speculation. Nope, no bias here!
