The Washington Post is dragging out one of the oldest and phoniest arguments against the charge of liberal bias, an argument that has all the freshness of four-month-old milk. To sum up in a headline: "The media's biggest bias isn't partisan -- it's for a juicy story."
If this claim hadn't been completely obliterated by every juicy thing Bill Clinton did with women he hadn't married, we can apply it to nearly every Obama scandal - especially when journalists try to claim Obama has been "scandal-free."
Callum Borchers, the media reporter of the Post political team at "The Fix," starts on promising territory, in a sense. He thinks some people are exaggerating the political strength of Bernie Sanders because they want a "compelling narrative." Sanders might have peaked in Iowa and New Hampshire - perhaps.
As Borchers acknowledges, Sanders has long complained of being marginalized by the press, and he was - when reporters look at polls showing Hillary up by 50 points, they wonder why bother covering an alternative. But in the same way, journalists (especially on television) have tended to marginalize anyone on the Republican side who wasn't in second place to Trump or was related to former presidents.
