THEY’RE NOT JOURNALISTS, THEY’RE LEFTY NARRATIVE POLICE: NBC reporter: None of the ‘journalists’ criticizing my Fetterman observations have been in the same room with him.

That reporting apparently touched off enough recriminations that Today host Savannah Guthrie had Burns address the criticisms. Twitchy has collated some of those from other journalists, including those who claim to have communicated with Fetterman without any issue. Those other journalists didn’t do in-person interviews, Burns tells Guthrie, and even the campaign acknowledged that Burns was the first in-person television interview the Senate candidate has had since his stroke five months ago.” . . .

Two points are particularly notable from this. One, why is this Fetterman’s first in-person interview for television? There are only four weeks left until Election Day, and Pennsylvania began early voting a couple of weeks ago. Normally Senate candidates go out of their way to get on TV as a means of getting their message pushed out as broadly (and cheaply) as possible.

That brings us to the second point, which is the thunderous silence from media outlets over the first point until now. That was bad enough, but now the reporters who should have spent the last several weeks reporting on Team Fetterman’s months-long attempts to dodge reporters and to refuse any transparency on his condition now are complaining about a reporter’s actual reporting. Shouldn’t they be complaining about their own lack of access and Fetterman’s attempts to hide from them? Wouldn’t they do that if the candidate involved was anything but a Democrat?

Literally, they don’t care about the truth, they just want a storyline that’s good for Democrats. That’s who they are, that’s what they do, and that’s why nobody trusts them anymore
