7. Politico's headline "Tom Steyer is infuriating Democrats -- again" maybe overstating the situation.

This isn’t directed at you BP, just a little steam I have to vent. In the article, they use less bellicose words like “irk” and phrases like “We do think the messaging could be improved” and “It’s hard to see him single-handedly inserting himself into a campaign“. Hardly what could be described as fury. There is hardly a story here. This infuriates me. No real examples or reasoning for anyone’s fury let alone democrats writ large. Just some anonymous grumbling about grandstanding and wanting to keep impeachment talk out of the ad strategy. I think as good Democrats we profit from knowing what is being said by our federal, state, and local leaders, but I really wish we spent more time analyzing the use of rhetorical and often misleading devices used by the press to frame issues.
