It looks to me that many people on FR do not understand that the press, being free, is free to take sides as it wishes.
Reality-wise, there should be consequences to their reputation from readers/viewers, and their employment from their bosses.
Many of the things that were being reported on this had clear contradictions, and instead of adjusting their arguments, they disappeared them. Look at the liberals who were uninvited for CNN as an example.
Why would they face consequences from their bosses who are the directors of this charade, the overseers on the plantation?
