When political reporters are compelled by necessity to report on subjects that cast liberals in a negative light, nothing is more welcome than a reaction quote from a Republican. If a Democrat or a progressive interest group finds itself in the dock, the press can always count on Republicans to rescue liberals from due opprobrium by virtue of their very existence. The story is never the story; for political reporters and editors alike, the Republican reaction to the story is the preferred prism through which to view events Democrats find… discomforting.....
This scathing piece by @NoahCRothman on how the media has covered @PPAct scandal, among others, is a must-read. https://t.co/Ug0A28ghTU

When Republicans pounce, you can be sure that the press will cover the leap and not their target.
