AP reported "[s]ome Southern lawmakers rebelled" against Voting Rights Act extension, didn't mention that almost all of those lawmakers were Republicans

SUMMARY: An Associated Press article on President Bush's signing of a 25-year extension of certain provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act described those in Congress who "rebelled" against the renewal as "[s]ome Southern lawmakers," without mentioning that the vast majority of those lawmakers were Republicans. Fox News' Brit Hume, meanwhile, completely glossed over House Republicans' efforts to derail the act's renewal.
