The networks believe that truth and reality so align with the views of the Left that their rejection constitutes an assault on democracy, fueled by \u201cbig money\u201d or foreign disinformation.<\/p>\n<p>It makes no difference whether voters repudiated the candidate\u2019s far-Left agenda or if the incumbent left office under a cloud of sex scandals and corruption. Whenever a Democrat is forced out of office, legacy news outlets keep them visible, viable, and employed until they can reclaim their rightful place in the halls of power.<\/p>\n<p>The legacy media have done this three times in the last week alone:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fmr. Rep. Katie Hill (D-CA)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For most of her career, the media lavished Katie Hill with positive coverage for two reasons: She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/11\/08\/katie-hill-wins-california-25th-house-district-over-rep-steve-knight.html\">flipped<\/a> a Republican seat blue, and she was the first openly bisexual woman to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. Then, her scandalous relationship with a young staffer became public, Hill resigned, and Republican Mike Garcia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/california-republican-mike-garcia-declares-victory-in-democrat-katie-hills-former-district\">reclaimed the district<\/a> for the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>In the media\u2019s universe, this cannot be allowed to continue \u2014 so CNN urged Hill to run for Congress again on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>CNN\u2019s \u201cNew Day\u201d putatively invited Hill to comment on the president spying on members of Congress. (They could have asked members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/politics\/archive\/2015\/02\/the-cia-lawyer-who-led-efforts-to-spy-on-the-senate\/385286\/\">Senate Intelligence Committee<\/a>, who were spied on by the Obama administration.)<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, Brianna Keilar sidestepped a series of sexual harassment landmines. Mediaite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/cnns-brianna-keilar-practically-begs-katie-hill-to-return-to-congress-at-end-of-flattering-interview\/\">reported<\/a> that CNN left out the fact that then-Congresswoman\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tag\/katie-hill\/\">Katie Hill<\/a>\u00a0and her husband had an inappropriate and possibly abusive sexual relationship with a very young female employee, as well as an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/news\/11481038\/katie-hill-staffer-congress-alleged-lover-suicidal-scandal\/\">affair<\/a>\u00a0with a male staffer and, after the affairs were exposed, it was also revealed that she\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/journalist-who-defended-katie-hill-failed-to-disclose-he-dated-her\/\">was dating<\/a>\u00a0a Playboy journalist who was leading the media charge against the blog RedState, which broke the story, and British tabloid\u00a0<em>Daily Mail<\/em>\u00a0and two of its reporters over their reporting.\u201d Keilar \u201cmentioned #MeToo without the context (CNN is big on context) that former staffers for Katie Hill took over her Twitter account\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/politics\/metoo-katie-hills-alleged-former-staff-take-over-twitter-account-to-accuse-her-of-workplace-abuse\/\">just a few months ago to expose<\/a> what they referred to as a \u2018toxic\u2019 environment and \u2018workplace abuse\u2019 under Hill, specifically citing the #MeToo movement among the many charges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keilar concluded the interview with numerous prompts to please return to public life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore I let you go, will you run again?\u201d she asked. When Hill replied with less than full agreement, Keilar pressed whether her interest in public policy \u201cmake[s] you want to get back in the arena?\u201d When Hill remained non-committal, Keilar closed, \u201cWe will keep asking.\u201d Co-host John Berman smiled as he noted Hill\u2019s answer was \u201cnot a no.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Fmr.
