Quote from article: Either political journalists don't really care about the ethical double standard, or they're just terrified to do their jobs when it comes to Republicans. Either way, this is one of the most blatant examples of how thoroughly broken our political media has become.
Can you imagine if, say, Rep. AOC had done this?
It would lead not just Fox News and the rightwing blogosphere but every news broadcast throughout the country. Every national political reporter would be writing about it, every Sunday show would at least mention it, and they’d be right to do so.
But when you’re a Republican, they let you do it.
