A Question for People in the Traditional Media
People in the traditional media tend to emphasize or even
sensationalize stories of extramarital or
unconventional sexual activity by conservatives and ignore those about leftists.
They often try to justify it by
claiming that it is not a result of political bias because what they are
focusing on is hypocrisy and not deviations from traditional norms as such. Since conservatives are more likely than leftists to claim to
adhere traditional Christian doctrine on sex, they are more likely to be fair
game for identification and calumny as hypocrites.
That raises a question. If hypocrisy is what is decisive,
why have the same people in the media not reacted similarly to the hypocrisy of
leftists including Sanders, Warren, and
many others who preach and moralize endlessly in favor of equality of wealth and income while amassing
fortunes? One may await an explanation
showing how there is no problem of honesty or consistency here.
