'What changed?' CNN's spin on a president talking about overriding governors depends on what party they're from

Can you imagine the headlines if last year President Trump announced vaccine mandates and said he’d find a way to overstep state governors who wouldn’t comply?

That can’t be real, because CNN’s Chris Cillizza once notoriously said that “journalists don’t root for a side.”

“Baseless” headlines have also disappeared.

The real-time fact-checks via chyron from CNN also seem to have come to an end.

When it changes from R to D, everything becomes acceptable.
