The Double Standard of Democratic Rule versus Republican Rule and Perception

2. What we need to a liberal media, or at least a journalistically responsible one.

The media has been promoting Republican frames, topics, talking points, and catch-phrases for decades.

If a democrat is a hair away from perfect, they'll pounce on the one slight error and call it a scandal or a gaffe and ponder if their career can survive.

If a Republican is a hair away from pure evil and utter incompetence, they'll shrug and say well the polls didn't move much so ho hum, let's move on. When was the last time they used Donnie and "gaffe" or "scandal" in the same sentence?

Name a democratic scandal, Donnie's probably done worse by an order of magnitude at least. But you wouldn't know it listening to the msm.

Democrats need a better strategy, sure, but let's not kid ourselves about who owns the microphone.
