Trump (eg) complains about how unfair it is when Leslie Stahl asks "tough questions".
That's calculated to make it harder for any Democrat to say Breitbart is being unfair when they straight up lie about Hunter Biden (eg).
For now, let's bypass the part about how this technique is useful in setting up your opponent for the hypocrisy slam - ie: how can you cry "unfair" when you denied my claim of unfairness before!?!
So anyway, we've got "one side" saying it's unfair when it isn't. And "the other side" saying it's unfair because it is.
As public awareness starts to come around to where we recognize that Biden is mostly leveling with us about it all, and that Trump is just being a big fay crybaby, it's time for David Brooks to jump in with a column in NYT or go on NPR to tell us that the real problem is that everybody thinks everything is unfair and if we could just stop yelling about it all the time, everything would be so much better - like in the olden days way back before the hippies got us all confused with their blah blah blah.
This is a recurring theme in this fucked up world of corporate media, and something Driftglass works hard to remind us about.
