[I]n the American media, which is to say American public life, Republicans are a despised group, much like used car salesmen, Congressmen, lawyers, or, in former times, certain ethnic and religious minorities.

We have had partisan media in this country before, but I don’t believe we have ever experienced such a unanimously one-party media at any time in our history.
