As someone who has worked in Republican politics throughout my career, I have experienced media bias firsthand for years. But during the Trump era it has reached a new level of hysteria.

Disdain for the president combined with their preexisting bias has blinded much of the media to the point that they are unable to see things clearly. They feed off of each other instead of looking outside of their liberal bubble, rendering them useless in understanding the electorate or political prognosticating. The coverage of the special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District underscores that point.
