I’ve lost count of the number of stories CNN has been writing since even before the elections about how Pelosi can’t get the Speakership, how there are rebel Democrats who are going to imperil her, “stop the coronation,” Is she cut out for the job, etc.
Jeff Flake comes out and says he is going to stop Trump’s judicial appointments if the Senate doesn’t vote on (VOTE, not PASS) a law protecting Mueller. And what does CNN do? They have Jeffrey Toobin say that McConnell will simply squash Flake like a bug “like he always does.”
Why doesn’t Pelosi get the same respect? From CNN or anywhere else, but if not from CNN from NOwhere else.

Thanks to everyone who decided to leave a comment. It made me realize I didn’t fully form my thoughts when I made that original post.
My frustration isn’t with CNN personalities or their on-air programming per se, because I don’t watch CNN, but I do read a lot of news online and I see headlines and I monitor tons of blogs and sites that do monitor cable news. My frustration is that WE liberals don’t push back hard enough on the concept of the “MSM” and “liberal media bias” when in this particular situation it’s so obvious they are willing to fluff McConnell and attempt to paint a picture that Nancy Pelosi is not capable of being a strong leader.
