This is another variation on the double standard we see in the MSM.
It is because they are not driven by a search for truth, but by an agenda of forming the world that they want.
Thus, the standard becomes: How can we spin the information that we have to advance the Agenda?
When we look at MSM reporting with this in mind, much is explained.
Democrat leader: "The Republicans want to foul the air, pollute the water, and starve the elderly."
MSM in unison to the President: "Why do you want to foul the air, pollute the water, and starve the elderly?"
