The First Rule of News Coverage

From Andrew Klavan at PJ Media via H/T at Instapundit:

“Whenever the prejudices and illusions of left-wingers are confirmed by an individual incident, the incident is treated as representative; when those prejudices and illusions are contradicted, the incident is considered an aberration — and treating it as representative is deemed hateful.”

Because, as Jim Treacher sagely observed last year on Twitter,

Modern journalism is all about deciding which facts the public shouldn't know because they might reflect badly on Democrats.
