Uh huh. If that was the case, they would've kept talking about the government shutdown for an entire year. Instead they went ballistic over a website crashing and focused on Ebola hysteria. They also wouldn't have given Hillary's emails more coverage than all of Trump's scandals combined.
Mhm. You confuse competence with motivation.
Motivation can be discerned by, say, the political affiliation of DC political reporters (about 7% Republican) or alternatively the distribution of newspaper endorsements for the loser party of the 2016 election. The most straightforward indicator of what one believes is the binary choice of how they vote.
At best you make a case that the leftist media is merely bad at their job of shilling for the loser party of the 2016 election. Which is expected, right? The loser candidate of the 2016 election did a rather bad job at shilling for the loser party of the 2016 election.
