What's all too predictable about the responses to this tweet is that folks use the insurrection or any Trump or Trump cult behavior as a stand-in for all on the Right and don't see how blindly intolerant they are about irrational and inflexible behavior on their side.

Of course Trump was worse than any president in cultivating animus toward the media and his rhetoric was nothing short of dangerous. But this is not about proportionality. It's about the media doing their job with Biden, with Dems and not being hectored with whataboutism.

When Alcide De Gasperi became the first prime minister of the Italian Republic, it wouldn’t have made any sense for Italian media to cover him in the same manner they covered Mussolini. Biden should be held accountable, but the tone that conveys him as the same as Trump is silly.

Why is it that professional journalists are unable to conceive that it might be possible to make good faith criticisms about journalistic methods?

To be more specific: if your criticism is that politician journalists deliberately pretend not to understand context in order to create an impression of objectivity, the specific examples will seem different when applied to the main parties in their current configuration ...1/2

I’m calling a high in her own supply bullshit! Neera was doing exactly what 45 was doing and the press said crap. Now their saying we’re snowflakes when a reporter is just trying a gotcha moment . High BS!

All sides can sling some venom, for sure, but I really don't know about "nastier". I have no recollection of terrorist threats being directed at reporters at Dem rallies, for example, nor do I see many Biden fans wearing "rope...tree...journalist" t-shirts, like at MAGA events.

To be clear, this is not to excuse crappy behavior among supporters of the President or other Dems. But, until we see a left-leaning version of 1/6 (which I pray we never do), it's tough for me to bristle at comparisons like that.

I'd agree if we (the left) can terrorize the nation's capital without consequence, then party our way through a pandemic to raise cash for dilute PAC’s to hope on lies.

Noted. Want to be clear that I think performance art by GOP senators about Tanden is pathetic after Trump, but I definitely think Dowd is correct about Left expecting journos to put on their jerseys. Trump may have unleveled the playing field in ways, but the job is the job.
