Manhandling The Media
Who: Libs.
What: Feel so entitled to favorable media coverage that they feel comfy campaigning for coverage calls. Let’s just say that this is a far cry from the media’s dynamic with the other side of the aisle.
Heels Indeed
Case in point: Emails have just surfaced revealing that the University of North Carolina implored ABC to “protect” 1619 Project embellisher Nikole Hannah-Jones.
Pretty Nervy
‘Working the refs’ for more biased officiating is what some fanbases think elite basketball programs do.
Press Presumptuousness
Julia Ioffe’s delightful new “Tomorrow Will Be Worse” email blast won us over with this spot-on characterization of entitled media relations: “Democrats de facto expect you to be on their side and are horrified when you hold them to account as you would any other administration.”
“And, like Barack Obama’s people, they’re extremely controlling … ‘Biden people will nitpick over a clause or an adjective or a highly parsed nuance, which on the whole Trump people didn’t do,’ the reporter added … Here it’s like, You said ‘stern,’ but we think he was ‘firm.’”
Expectations Discrepancy
“‘Democrats in general have a much thinner skin,’ observed the prominent White House reporter. “This is not unique to Trump but Republicans never expect a fair shake, so if you cover them fairly, you can have a good working relationship with them.”
May I Have Another?
Needless to say, we can attest to the reality that the relationship between conservatives and the media resides somewhere between contentious/antagonistic and resigned/defeatist.
I have only one brief thing to say about the media..
