The Media’s Dangerous Minimization of the Left’s Radical Turn to Socialism

Oh, how the mainstream media just loves to hype supposed Republican infighting while remaining silent on the Democrat split over socialism.

When House Republicans recently derailed a procedural vote, Bloomberg ran a headline declaring that the House had “spiraled into dysfunction” and reported that the floor had “descended into chaos.” The story was not about a party dramatically abandoning the Constitution or renouncing capitalism. It was about an intraparty disagreement over defense legislation and a voter ID measure.

And yet, when Democrat primaries reveal a far more consequential struggle between mainstream liberals and the loony socialist Left, much of the press suddenly reaches for gentler language.

The Associated Press described democratic socialist gains in mayoral races as a “surge.” Reuters referred to a “progressive surge” complicating the Democrats’ midterm message. In other words, Republican infighting is chaos; Democrat ideological radicalization is momentum.

That absurd contrast is one of the most misleading narratives in American politics.

To be sure, Republicans have divisions. A party that includes populists, libertarians, defense hawks, social conservatives, fiscal hawks, and working-class voters will inevitably argue. Parties are coalitions, not monasteries.
