Imagine the concept of journalists asking probing questions of candidates. Some might find that idea to be off-limits. And some of those who do actually consider themselves to be journalists whose main mission is to protect Democrat candidates, namely Elizabeth Warren.
Among such so-called journalists is Washington Post media columnist Margaret Sullivan. She is best known for regretting that the mainstream media embraced the term "fake news" to explain away Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016 when it later boomeranged in a big way.
In her latest incarnation, Sullivan wanted to stifle the notion that journalists should be allowed to question Elizabeth Warren about if her plan for Medicare For All would raise middle class income taxes. What caused Sullivan to throw an anti-journalism conniption fit was Warren being asked about this during and after the 2020 Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday (emphasis hers):

They can try to protect her but they will fail. She’s as interesting as an blank piece of paper.
Refusal to answer a direct question indicates a blatant attempt to deceive, why would anyone want a person like that in a leadership position?
Warren is still borne... they clearly want her as the candidate, but she’s a non starter.
If she is the nominee, don’t expect Democrats to take 10 states...
Look at the rally’s of her’s in NYC... NYC!!!!
It’s Whiter than a ski slope...
She is the candidate of over educated white guilt liberals, that’s it... she has ZERO appeal across the democratic base, and even less among independents.
She’s 2020’s George McGovern.
I agree, she is the worst choice for the Dems, so I'm all for her.
It’s amazing how the Democrats expect to be treated by the media. It’s become an entitlement!
More like one of those howler letters that screech at you from Harry Potter.
Kudos to Mayor Pete for holding firm against CNN BS.
” Warren is still borne... they clearly want her as the candidate, but she’s a non starter.”
Yes she is. And she may still be the best they have from which to choose. I feel so bad for the troubled dims.
Sorry, she can’t win... No democrat can...
She won’t get 10 states.
Look at her “huge” NYC rally... As I stated before the crows was whiter than a ski slope.
She has no appeal outside the overeducated white guilt liberal crowd... she is a non starter.
People want nationalized health care. They really do. I've been sending doctor bills for 45 years, and I know.
What they don't want is to pay for it.
None of the arguments, FOR or AGAINST national health care, deal honestly with the cost.
We can do it - Wir schaffen das - but it's going to cost a huge amount of money, and that money will come from UK-EU-Canada level taxes.
That Warren's plan will raise taxes isn't an attack, unless people are stupid enough to think that they can have national health care and not pay for it.
I have a lesbian, close friend, who is as liberal as they come. Yesterday, she said that she just cant warm up to Warren, finds her unlikable and untrustable. I found that very interesting.
