    Two simple things to keep in mind when complaining about double standards: Rule # 1--Life's not fair. Rule # 2--Refer to rule # 1

        @mattklewis Does this apply to complaining about income inequality and institutional racism?

        If you're poor, is it better to whine the game is "rigged," or work hard to succeed in spite of it? (Same logic applies to GOP & media bias)

        @mattklewis Media double standards are not “life” being unfair, btw. It’s MSM journalists freely choosing sides.

        @mattklewis It’s certainly not inevitable... Objective media is biased: “Oh well, that’s Life!” As if they can’t help it.

        @mattklewis Usually stressed by someone who's just acted unfairly, and been called on it.

        @mattklewis @instapundit Should still call out Dem campaign operatives with bylines for what they are - partisan hacks. Make that the story.

        @mattklewis True stuff, which is why it's irksome to hear POTUS use the term fairness so often like it's something he can administer.
