Over the last week, a series of stories have suddenly begun getting tons of coverage in the mainstream press.

First, Ilhan Omar may have married her brother. Conservative writers were actually writing about this prior to her election, but the press is only now catching wind of the story and covering it — now that Omar has become a problem for Democrats.

Second, Joe Biden is now on track to be the Democrats’ nominee for President. He ran for President in 2008 and sat as Vice President for eight years. Only now, as progressives complain, the press is starting to examine Biden’s record on race.

Third, as progressives begin a new offensive against Donald Trump over the situation in detainment camps, reporters are suddenly digging up old photos and judicial arguments to buttress progressive complaints. They ignored the humanitarian issues all during the Obama era and are now happy to help progressives circulate photos from the Obama era to smear Trump.

We can even go back to 2016 when the press demanded then candidate Donald Trump be held accountable for casting doubt on the legitimacy of the election to now celebrating Stacey Abrams for doing the same.

It’s as if the press corps does not operate except to run interference for progressives. So I guess it isn’t really that the press sucks at its job. It’s just that it views its job as to aid progressives, not report the news.
