Networks pounce on Republican redistricting. They didn’t care when Democrats did it

Media provide extensive coverage of Texas redistricting controversy but largely ignored similar Democratic gerrymandering in Illinois and New York

At least Melvin asked reporter Ryan Chandler: "How much of this is just a stunt? Or is there some indication that this move could actually work by Democrats?" Chandler said it’s only temporary, it won’t last. 

These networks aren’t referees or moderators or reformers who just want sensible districting in the public interest. They are a partisan adjunct that only consider gerrymandering outrageous when Republicans are accused of doing it.
