In a Democratic White House, journalists identify with the administration, whose policies and beliefs tend to mirror their own.

Kinda says it all in a nutshell, doesn't it?

...But this familiarity makes it easy to criticize when things go wrong (and even when they don't). Reporters understand a Democratic administration's flaws more readily because it's made up of people much like themselves. This is a large part of what made the media's relationship with the Clintonites so toxic. At its nadir, coverage of the administration got caught up in a vortex of baby-boomer self-loathing; familiarity bred contempt.

...Followed by three more sentences of lies to go with the rest of the venom in this article.
