1. criticism/no criticism to Dems/Repub presidents AND
2. the cruel-to-be-kind cover of win-lose neoliberalism to Repubs / the disarray smear of the empathy and win-win negotiations of Democrats, AND
3. the "I ain't got to show you no stinkin' badges" / the "damn right perfect is the enemy of the good"
AND that's just three off the top of my head.
Make the Syria/Afghanistan comparison:
Did media hour-by-hour cover the evacuation of troops from Syria when TFG was president?
Did media count the 19 bases Trump abandoned there, noting the cost of billions of military equipment and aircraft he left behind for our enemies?
Did media count day-by-day the evacuation of translators and Kurdish allies?
Hell No. Media covered over and over and over what Trump said: " I've begun the drawdown of troops from Syria and there's nothing they can do about it. Nothing they can do. "
For four years,
1. Media did NOT cover over and over, "What you are seeing and reading is not what is happening."
2. Media did NOT cover the atomic bombing idea (and of hurricanes, no less) the way media covered the Howard Dean shout over and over and over.
3. Media don't need to criticize Trump if he's got a DYSFUNCTIONAL WHITE HOUSE PRESS ROOM.
THEN Alt-Right media can fill in the void left by the White House, and amplify the propagation of alt-right neonazi, plutocratic, theocratic, capitalist narratives.
Once media safely DO have a functioning White House Press Room, they swarm with their standards & acquired narratives upon the Democratic Party and press secretary like locusts.
