and there wasnt a blatant overall institutional rot that leads to the same warped perspectives from countless journalists/outlets throughout the entire beltway media feedback loop.

everything is trouble or cause for pause for dems, while being signs of strength or political savvy for repubs.

its why we have such persistent media tropes as dems in disarray, potential dem overreach, great news for john mccain, lack of 'bipartisanship' when dems are in power, etc.

youre kinda completely dismissing the entire 'bad takes' forest for a few trees to carve out some elaborate counter narrative away from a much broader and historically consistent/pervasive truth.

i mean...youd have to act like network sunday news shows, cable news, nytimes, politico, etc all dont exist.

lol @ trap tho.

*falls to ground* they got meh!
