It's complicated

The media have two hard and fast rules for covering stories.  Rule #1 is that if a story is unflattering to Republicans, that's the story; if it's unflattering to Democrats the story is "Republicans pounce!"

Rule #2 is that when "fact checkers" are called to referee, those damaging stories for Democrats are either "complicated" or "totally false."

Question: If a Republican ever stopped believing he was always the victim, would he exist at all?

It is complicated to explain how they can be evil and yet still represent the civil and moral in our republic.

So true. But some don't understand that to establish civility and morality in our republic, sometimes you gotta break a few Officer Sicknicks.

"The NY Times Retracts the Sicknick Story"

Another story where the narrative ran ahead of the facts, which could be safely reported after impeachment.

Whoa! You mean he's alive again? HOORAY!

Sicknick is dead because of your Moron Brigade. Go write Fake News on his tombstone.

And give a HIGH TWO to the surviving officer who only lost three of his fingers!

Nope, he's as dead as David Dorn or a nursing home grandma in Albany.
