Eric Boehlert at Media Matters for America chronicles the way “the Beltway press almost immediately began to seamlessly frame the unfolding debate about the Supreme Court Justice’s replacement along the contours of Republican talking points. To do so, the press continued its habit of looking away from the GOP’s stunning record of institutional obstructionism since 2009.”
Boehlert reminds us that “Today’s Republican Party is acting in a way that defies all historic norms.”
