No mention of an eight-year-long hate campaign in the major media, I see. For some odd reason journalists, and I use the term loosely, imagine they can perform ABC-style political muggings and still stay above the fray. They're due for a rude awakening.
That syllogism is all-too evocative of Dem's defunding of police, cities and states refusing to keep certain crime statistics, convenient misplacing of evidence, Soros DAs prosecuting only a very low percentage of the accused, despite solid evidence, cashless bail and judges' inexplicable dismissal of charges against illegal aliens and others, for example.
"Journos" see that happening to very-likely-guilty perps and expect they should get similar if not better treatment.
Nonetheless, I agree with you.
