       By convincing themselves that "both sides do it", our news media set themselves (and America) up for failure."Both sides do it" insists that everyone does everything for entirely political reasons. If the R's do something outrageous, it's political. If the D's react to it in any way - it's political, too.This is bullshit. When Donald Trump and his Republican co-conspirators attempted to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power, they were NOT acting politically. They were acting CRIMINALLY - albeit with a political purpose.It's not the same.But, because our news media thinks criminal acts are political then any reaction to the criminal act will be just as political.Except of course, reacting to a crime (such as sedition, insurrection or treason) isn't political. If anything, it's patriotic. And patriotism is definitely something both sides don't do.
