“Journalism” has had a heckuva run in the last few years, and though this headline from the Washington Post about a new poll on Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is technically correct, the headline would almost certainly be framed differently if the subject of the story was a Democrat:

The disappointment here is palpable:
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin above water in new VCU poll https://t.co/aZRD9hK1Ay
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) July 27, 2022
LOL. Well, that’s one way to put it.
This is the kind of headline you write when you're upset you can't write "Glenn Youngkin underwater in new poll" https://t.co/KVc9XSICL6

The Post certainly doesn’t hide the disappointment very well, do they?

Sounds like you’re upset @GovernorVA is Governor and liked by those who elected him. Unlike Biden, who’s underwater in the Commonwealth of Virginia. https://t.co/p2ZxaVPpol

The media might find a way to explain how Biden’s actually “above water” if the level of the water is drastically lowered.
