A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles.
Thinking about that a lot.
I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense
Similarly, someone on the bad place once said that the media treats Dems like women (to be challenged, thwarted) and the GOP like (white) men (powerful, immutable, destructive and yet blameless because even their destructive power is as "natural" as a tornado). I've thought about this a lot, too.
