Compare and contrast how the media cover them, depending on political party.

It’s good to be a Democrat. Well, except for that unpopularity-when-they’re-not-running-with-Obama-at-the-head-of-the-ticket thing.

It’s certainly true that lies by Democrats get covered vastly differently than lies by Republicans. So much so that non-lies by republicans (also known as truth) get decried as lies, while Democrat lies get called “misstatements” at worst. Or in the case of lies aimed at Republicans, fake but accurate.
However, the media also covers for republicans, but only when exposing inconvenient facts about them would hurt Democrats. For example, the media won’t slam, or even mention, republican senators who are running for president who publicly backed Hillary’s war on Libya. They surely would if it wasn’t a Hillary/Obama war, but because it is, they are silent – and of course, the GOPe is complicit (it’s no accident that a normal Republican strong suit, foreign policy, has been conspicuous by its absence at the debates).
BTW, in case anyone is wondering, the two aforementioned senators who loudly backed Hillary on Libya are Rubio and Graham. If you hadn’t heard about that, I’m not surprised; the media only mentioned it back when it helped the D side. (enabling Hillary/Obama to use the “bipartisan” excuse).

If you search, you won’t find a Politico article on Hillary’s attempt to enlist in the Marines, despite the fact that women were allowed in the Marine Corps at the time.
