The media fell hook, line, and sinker for every load of crap thrown to them by Puerto Rican officials during their auditions to become #Resistance superstars. They're ALWAYS prone to letting inept Democrat officials manipulate coverage.
They did the same thing after Parkland. CNN allowed lethally incompetent public officials to stage a town hall where they shifted blame to innocent Americans concerned about their constitutional rights.
Why would anyone expect a bureaucracy with that kind of air cover to enact meaningful reforms? And why is anyone surprised it tilts heavily Democrat? A (D) after your name guarantees your excuses will be taken seriously, with minimal scrutiny, if you blame (R)s or their voters.
Chicago gun violence? It's all the fault of people from surrounding areas that vote Republican. Just ask any Chicago Democrat! Democrat programs like Obamacare become disasters? Must be Republican sabotage! The people who actually RAN THE PROGRAM sure couldn't be responsible!
Media bias isn't just about winning elections. It's about insulating trillionaire Big Government from accountability and reform, especially when the only logical reforms would make government smaller or break up Democrat political fiefdoms. /end
