In all my years, I have NEVER, EVER seen the MSM do this with a Democrat. The MSM always tries to aid the Democrat by always finding (and always by sheer happenstance) a "life-long Republican" and holding up as now a staunch supporter of Democrat candidate X.
Now, why do you suppose that is?
I have lost count of how many letters to the editors I have written, always noting my switching of parties after 9/11 and reasons behind it — my disenfranchisement with the direction and twisted logic of the liberals of today — and only once did I come close enough to getting something of mine published when someone from a liberal paper called me back for identity verification so my letter could be published. Still that letter never got published anyway. Reckon, higher ups got wind of it!
