Republicans focus on percent of mainstream media stories that are critical of President Trump (>50%), but what is important is quantity and intensity of criticism of Trump relative to his corruption, cruelty, incompetence, and anti-democratic actions (which defines Trump admin).
That is essence of Republican strategy of false equivalency: demand >50% of coverage of Republicans be awesome, regardless of base-rate of awesomeness. That is not objective, that just encourages more extreme behavior/policy: no matter what you do, you get 50% good coverage!
Linking referenced tweet by @dbongino. He blocks anyone who criticizes him, so many of you may not see this. He apparently unblocked me for this, but sure delicate little Republican snowflake with block me again soon.
Republicans build their identity around victimhood. Rather than taking personal responsibility for their life they blame: immigrants, minorities, other religions, LGBT, etc. This convenient/critical for leadership that pushes policies that hurt their supporters' quality of life.
Insane when Republican victimhood is applied to government and media. Republicans control 2.5 branches of gov't despite getting crushed in last few elections. Republicans have massive media empires & bully mainstream media into submission. Still, they play the victim.
