I wish I could share Nordlinger's belief that the sycophant DNC-driven press would ever be 'normal' with a democRAT president.

Near the end of 2011, I believe, the press had a round of nastiness toward Mitt Romney. (It would not be the last, of course.) I thought, “This is interesting. If Romney is elected president — or any other Republican is elected president — we will see the return of the adversarial press. The adversarial press has been absent during the Obama years. The press has been amazingly tender toward the president. A Republican victory would mark the return of normality.”
The other day, I was looking at some press about Hillary Clinton — pretty tough press, or normal press. And comedians have been joking about her, some of them. I thought, “No matter who is elected next year, we will again have a president whom people treat normally. Even if it’s Hillary, we will be able to criticize the president without the worst of accusations, probably. She will not have the holy aura of Obama.”
Let me explain further what I mean. On the eve of the midterm elections of 2010, Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, said, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” (In that same interview, McConnell said, “I don’t want the president to fail; I want him to change.”)
The entire world, or much of the world, freaked out. They acted like McConnell was some dangerous Klansman. Never mind that what he had said was perfectly normal — perfectly normal politics.
The Democrats wanted George W. Bush to be a one-term president — very much so. They worked extremely hard against him. The Republicans wanted Bill Clinton to be a one-term president. The Democrats wanted Bush the Elder ... and President Reagan to be a one-term president(s).

“the press” is now nothing more than a bolt-on appendage of the Democratic National Committee.
Why would they criticise Hillary? They’ve kept her propped up for years to get her in the Oval Office. It’s amazing that this woman is even a factor in national politics after all these years, based on nothing more, originally, than being married to the Rapist-In-Chief.
When the press returns to their normal hostility, it is on us as patriots to attack them by name personally, relentlessly, viciously wit withering insight. Social media provides the tools.
Truth must be brought to bear upon them.
The press doesn’t have any great love for Obama.
They have great love for the money they think comes from the Democrats.
That freedom of the press stuff costs a lot of money.
Think of the press as a flock of pigeons at the foot of a peanut vendor. They’ve gotten too fat to fly. He has complete control.
The Obama Press could also be called a working slave for the Weather Underground.
