ANALYSIS: Journos Incapable of Treating Democrats Like Politicians

Journos and other libs have a tendency to treat Democratic politicians less as public servants worthy of public scrutiny than as superheroes, epic celebs, or deities to be worshiped and admired. (See: Barack Obama, 2008 election.)

The media's obsessive coverage of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris's shoes, for example, suggests a level of derangement that would not ordinarily be tolerated in a functioning society. Four years ago, of course, it was considered "sexist" to discuss Hillary Clinton's fashion choices, but there's no point trying to make sense of it. Journos will be journos. Libs will be libs.

This week, it was failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams's turn in the spotlight. She's been hailed as "a real superhero," a "GODDESS," and "one of the most consequential women in US history" for starting a Super PAC funded by Michael Bloomberg.

When it comes to the Democratic politicians who actually won their campaigns for governor, the national political press has been similarly incapable of treating them like elected officials who deserve to be held accountable. Governors, as it turns, are rather important figures in the effort to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in terms of vaccine distribution.

That includes Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D., Mich.), who was in the running to be Joe Biden's running mate. How is the vaccine rollout going in her state? Not that great, according to the local journalists who don't regularly appear on cable news networks.
