Yep, that happened. Media Matters’ “senior fellow” Eric Boehlert has finally lost his tenuous hold on reality and wants you to know that the media are actually in the tank for the GOP. The GOP!
For lapdog DC press, GOP's petulant whining over Rice = super savvy hardball. Press won't ever get up nerve to criticize GOP obstructionism

We’re to believe those “lapdogs” are looking on with puppy-like adoration as GOP lawmakers raise questions about Amb. Rice’s potential nomination to the nation’s top diplomatic slot? That’s odd. Then why would those “lapdogs” cry racism over criticism of Rice and dutifully report on how GOP men “pick on women and minorities” like Rice?
Naturally, Boehlert would have you believe the GOP is “smearing” Rice by having the audacity to investigate why she repeatedly misled the American people on the nature of the Sept. 11 Benghazi attack. And it’s all part of the master plan to put Scott Brown back in the U.S. Senate.
Now zero doubt GOP is smearing Susan Rice in order to get a John Kerry nomination and a Scott Brown re-run; #hacks

Because of racism and sexism, of course.
And yes the GOP demand that Obama ditch Rice and send up another old white guy to become Sec of State is just creepy;

At this rate, Boehlert will be rocking back and forth in the corner eating his own hair before the confirmation hearings even take place. Well, unless he’s got some teenage girls to berate on Twitter. Then he’ll pull it together.
