Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan (not to mention self-serving and … hateful) rhetoric? Have the many troubling events of election night already been forgotten? Once and for all, fellow journalists and fellow citizens, conservative and liberal alike (although I hardly expect the latter to follow this piece of — friendly — advice), stop saying "Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election" and stop referring to "the election that Trump lost", to "Trump's defeat", to "Trump tried to change the results", and to "false claims".
The way that even conservative outlets like Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, not to mention RINOs like Mike Pence, buy into and repeat the drama queens' (the leftists' and the mainstream media's) "talking points" (not to call those double standards a language of hate) is unconscionable and deeply troubling (see Tuesday's WSJ editorial defending Donald Trump while calling his "post-election behavior" in 2020 "deceitful and destructive" and referring to his "disgraceful" "malfeasance".)
As for National Review (thanks to Glenn Reynolds), which also attacks the Trump indictment, the magazine feels the need to point point out that it "condemned Trump’s appalling actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election" as well as "Trump’s deceptions": "Mendacious rhetoric in seeking to retain political office is damnable." (Thanks for the hyperlink, Sarah Hoyt.)
Meanwhile, Joe Biden's — far worse — shenanigans, both as senator and as occupant of the White House, are duly opposed but never with such vitriolic wording. The opposition is quite restrained and, even if principled, almost of the "Ho-hum" variety (rarely, if ever, loaded ded words like "disgraceful" or "malfeasance").
Again: Why do conservative media feel the need to kowtow to the Democrat Party's biased and partisan ... rhetoric? ...

They are right after all the Democrats are the only ones allowed to contest an election:
Al Gore in 2000 and hanging chads
Hillary Clinton in 2016 “Hillary Clinton Maintains 2016 Election ‘Was Not On the Level’: ‘We Still Don’t Know What Really Happened’”
The claims are Biden had 81 million voters vote for him in 2020 but he can’t seem to gather more than a few thousand folks to attend his rallies so go maybe 70 million of those votes came form dead voters.
Because deep down inside, they are democrats who agree with what happened.
Trump tried to CORRECT the INVALID RESULTS resulting from FRAUDULENT BALLOTS.
