This is an indication that you don’t look at very much left-leaning press, or that you accept the characterization of left-leaning press as reported by right-leaning press. You will definitely see stories like this on the left — not everywhere, not consistently in lockstep like on the right, because the left is fragmentary and fractious. This is because of the difference between right and left in terms of what is considered the greatest sin. On the right, the greatest sin is weakness. That’s why Trump is their ultimate hero: he never, ever concedes anything. On the left, by contrast, the greatest sin is hypocrisy. The right doesn’t give a shit about hypocrisy, but on the left, the different camps are poised to pounce on each other for any perceived gap between position and action. If this were not the case, then Franken would never have been forced to resign, to name just one example. If there were anything to these accusations, then the left’s hypocrisy patrol would be out in force.
