Have you ever noticed how differently Republicans are treated in the media than Democrats?
Every newsroom in the country used to have what was called the “AP Stylebook” to use in writing news stories.
Now you need two AP stylebooks, one for Democrats, about whom seldom is heard a discouraging word, and a second for the GOP, with a hundred different pejoratives.
Two parties, two vocabularies. One positive, one negative — very bad, evil in fact.
Consider the testimony by Michael Cohen last week in front of various Congressional committees.
For example, since he worked for Donald Trump, Cohen was described about a million times as a “fixer.” Democrats, on the other hand, have lawyers.
To prevent the release of embarrassing information, Democrats’ lawyers negotiate NDA’s — nondisclosure agreements. Republican fixers’ NDAs are “hush money,” or “bribes.”
Hillary Clinton paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat operatives who then bought or made up false Russian dirt on Trump — that was opposition research. Republicans, on the other hand, “collude!”
Republicans lie, Democrats misspeak.

Love Howie Carr. His columns show the definitive way to write a serious and thoroughly humorous column at the same time.
Thanks for posting.
No I didn’t.
I refuse to watch any of the so called conservative pundits because they are vipers.
Ever noticed?
Oh,... how about in 1964 (Goldwater)? How about in 1968 (Nixon)? How about in 1976 & 1980 (Reagan)?
How many examples would you like?
By learning to code?

Ping to a good one...
