Excellent question! As Bernie Goldberg handily demonstrates in his latest article, it's called hypocrisy, or double standards. Either way, it's insidious and it's the liberal/Democrat MO to dealing with almost anything.
It's also called liberal media bias, because it's the mainstream media that is helping their liberal/Democrat heroes perpetuate this myth that when Democrats are being booted out, it's because voters are angry, afraid, or irrational. But when Republicans are getting the heave-ho, it's because voters are enlightened, hopeful, and compassionate. What. Ever.
Here's a key quote from the article:
Interesting, isn't it, that if you listen to liberal journalists, the voters are always angry and stupid when they're tossing Democrats out. But they're high-minded and caring when they're giving Republicans the heave-ho.
You may recall that in 2006 and 2008, when Democrats took over both Houses of Congress, it was those high-minded, caring "soccer moms," looking out for the welfare of their families, who went to the polls to vote for Democrats. They were never described as "angry" or "irrational" or "throwing a temper tantrum" -- even though they were cleaning house just as the voters did Tuesday.
So let's review: As far as liberal journalists are concerned, when the American people vote for Democrats, it's because they're full of hope and want positive change and care about their little kiddies. And when they vote for Republicans, it's because they're angry, stupid and irrational.
Good thing there's no such thing as liberal bias in the media.
