If you want to know why Fox News insists on always describing Politico as “the left-wing Politico,” here is a perfect example.

From an objective viewpoint, Markey committed at least two major gaffes wherein he got caught with his hypocritical pants down — way down. Politico, however, chooses to cover up this fact to protect the Democrat’s chances of victory.

The media’s goal, obviously, is to not upset the status quo at this critical point in the race.
The national media are protecting Markey’s lead.
