Abdul El-Sayed’s Media Hall Pass

You’re nuts if you think members of the news and entertainment businesses don’t apply a separate, sympathetic standard to Democratic candidates in tight races.

See: Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who, though he has faced some unavoidable media scrutiny, receives a degree of protective coverage we’d never see given to any Republican anywhere, no matter how much of a “squishy” moderate they might be. (Remember: Certain journalists and the whole of the left-wing commentariat recently tried to sell everyone on a communist sex pest because Republican Senator Susan Collins — yes, that Susan Collins — is too “far right” for them.)
