Is fawning press coverage doing Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg any favors?

Wired magazine has faced criticism by conservatives for a recent interview of the current transportation secretary: “Pete Buttigieg Loves God, Beer, and His Electric Mustang.” The title, the questions asked, and the preamble, by contributor Virginia Heffernan, have drawn mockery.

“I know, I know, there’s absolutely zero bias in media, but I sure don’t recall endless hagiographic profiles of, say, [former Republican Transportation Secretaries] Mary Peters or Elaine Chao,” tweeted GOP consultant Doug Heye, who has held top communications roles in the House Republican leadership and Republican National Committee.
