The lefty media again gave away the game over the last few days with their framing of a CBS News headline and story about a couple of Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's deleted tweets that mentioned 9/11. One of El-Sayed's tweets on 9/11 mourned the "infrastructural devastation" on that day.
Many in the media knew exactly what to do with that story, and it was to make the "scandal" about CBS News for reporting about El-Sayed's deleted tweets:
Bari Weiss personally directed this morning’s CBS News headline about Abdul El-Sayed to be tweaked to specifically mention deleted tweets referencing the September 11 terrorist attacks

"CBS News' El-Sayed problem."
The headline everywhere should be "El-Sayed's Hasan Piker problem" but these "journalists" instinctively know what to do.
Former Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd tried to help minimize El-Sayed's issues when it comes to Piker:
Piker feels like a classic “online” vs “reality” story that has become familiar, meaning if you live mostly online, you know who he is. If you live a normie life (you know, go outside, touch grass, drive a car), you have no clue who this person is and when you are forced to read… https://t.co/u3HxlRqttN

"If you live a normie life (you know, go outside, touch grass, drive a car), you have no clue who this person is and when you are forced to read about him, you simply chalk him up to another lost soul who thinks the online world is the real world. He seems like a totally overrated story."
Would it be an "overrated story" if the equivalent were happening with a Republican candidate? We're guessing no.
“another lost soul who thinks the online world is the real world”

Watching how these "journalists" instinctively flow together like a school of fish when it comes to helping spin for Democrats (even socialist ones) is just amazing.
Yeah because left wing media partners at CNN and beyond don’t want to make their party look bad buddy

How silly of us to imagine that media figures are just crisis comms for Democrats! https://t.co/1aWZy1mdeM

These "journalists" insist that's not the case and then spend every day proving otherwise.
