Data geek Mayor Pete is a leader. He is data-driven. Really smart. Hes brash. And dynamic. Bold. Has the best education in the world. He has fancy degrees, but the confidence to govern with heart, and the brain to govern with data.
It may seem like that is an exaggerated description, but all of that is taken from this single NBC News article about 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg. And those are just the words in isolation, they cant really convey the depth of the hagiography posted as news by NBC on this candidate.
It would be passé, even quaint, to note that you wont see such fawning over any Republican. Not now, nor in the last 20 years from NBC News. Even when the network was rebuilding John McCains reputation (after tearing it down while he was running against Barack Obama), they still found plenty with which to bash him or caveat their praise. So rather than the old-fashioned would they write this about a Republican rhetorical question, just consider whether even establishment, old-school Democrats would get the same puffery (in a primary). Can you imagine NBC writing a headline like this about Joe Biden?
The article is written as a story if you dont know this, among campaign consultants and policy pitchmen in D.C. storytelling has been THE buzzword for how to reach voters that tells of an heroic journey. The journey, or evolution, from smart, data-driven smart-guy to smart, data-driven but also wise and empathetic smart-candidate. Peppered with ample reminders that he uses data a lot. (From article: data geek, data-driven, data driven, looking at data, based on data, data-driven, made the data the priority, data-driven, data-driven, data and algorithms, data.)

Big Mike/Little Pete 2020...I’m with HER?
I respectfully disagree. Biden represents the old Democratic powers, while Buttigieg represents a less radical version of the new radical Left, but with a personna and credentials ("successful" mayor, Navy vet, multilingual, homosexual) that the media see as the future of their party (to Hell). And with his condemning the likes of Mike Pence and asserting that God is the author of the perverse desires of his fallen flesh, then he has that liberal badge of (dis)honor also, while they describe him as as "devout Christian." His political weakness so far is being too white, with the lack of attraction to the blacks.
During his first term as mayor, in the wake of a federal investigation into recordings by police that allegedly contained racist remarks by some white police officers, Buttigieg asked Darryl Boykins, the citys first ever black police chief, to resign, and later demoted him to captain, resulting in charges of racial discrimination and a suit by Boykins, which was settled out of court. Buttigieg called for the eradication of racial bias in the police force, and has been credited with being being a valuable partner in advocating for the needs of the citys black community,[52]while being faulted for a decrease in diversity in his administration as mayor [53] as well as in his presidential campaign events.[54]
Falsely it turns out, giving the MSM cannon fodder:. Pete Buttigieg was falsely accused of sexual assault in a stunt concocted by Jacob Wohl
