I’ll start but please add yours
Erasing the accomplishments of candidates of color
- The media consistently notes that Mayor Buttigieg is a Rhodes scholar but I rarely hear that descriptor in relation to Senator Booker
- The media has consistently touted Beto O’Rourke’s immigration plan but haven’t given much focus to Julian Castro’s (which came out first)
- Just yesterday both MSNBC and CBS supplanted Senator Harris’ rightful position in their graphics with Mayor Buttigieg.
Sticking to media narratives even as the circumstances have changed - both former Representative O’Rourke and Mayor Buttigieg were light on policy when they first announced but that has changed quite a bit for former Representative O’Rourke and somewhat for Mayor Buttgieg yet the media continues to tout them both as light on policy
Inconsistent standards — as a former Representative O’Rourke supporter by biggest pet peeve in this election cycle is how many national media figures are constantly ordering him to drop out and run against Senator Cornyn all without
- Knowing that MJ Hegar, a truly impressive female candidate, is already running and/or
- Giving Secretary Castro those same marching orders even though he is polling lower than former Representative O’Rourke.
