The bizarre result is a body of “news” coverage in which the election of Democrats is extremely important and newsworthy, but what these same Democrats say and do once in power cannot be honestly reported.

Generally a reporter’s editorial complaints about the legislative process are not news, but they are here. And the complaint that prior versions of the bill had not caused controversy is fairly rich in an era where an entire genre of journalism consists of wrecking people’s lives over years-old social media postings.
