With yesterday’s start to the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings, now is a good time to remind Republicans that there is no reason to be reasonable about the nomination. Reasonableness, of course, is what the Republicans are actually doing. They’re going through the process even if the opposition does not like it. The reality is the Democrats would be doing the same if the roles were reversed.
I think if the Republicans get Barrett through the nomination (quickly), it will become a non-issue in the election. Those people who are *against* it being done right now will let it go, as it will become a non-issue once she's on the bench, and since the media so quickly move on to other stories, this will become old news.
I believe the press might shortly discover that they have fallen into a very dark pit. When the press gives up any sort of balance and ceases to be a true watch dog warning of dangers and instead become the bull horn of one particular mind set, they will discover that they will become the fodder for that mind set. Truth is the first victim to go, when black or white is their choice and grays and colors disappear. I wonder how many reporters realize they will give an account for what they have done? And to someone they will not be able to SPIN what they did. They should be shaking in their boots, for neither mountain nor pile of rocks will hide them from that exposure. Sad times we live in.
Right now I am to the point where I cannot stomach ANYTHING that comes out of the mouths of the Democrats or their media hacks. They bring the art of hypocrisy to an all new level.
As Erick suggests, reasonableness in media-lingo means doing whatever the Democrats want. In media-lingo, divisiveness is the result of not doing whatever Democrats want. Consequently, in the eyes of the media, the nomination of Barrett and the rest of Trump's policies are divisive and unreasonable. It is simple to understand once you accept the meaning of reasonable and divisive used by the media in the Trump era.
I agree with your article.

This is is extremely well said and very clear-minded in a situation the Media and the Democratic party are purposely obfuscating. Well said!
Judge Amy and her family need our prayers.
Whatever. Let's just get Judge Amy in there and be done with it before its too late. Full steam ahead for Barrett.
