It's all the same as sports. We root for our home team, and boo the out of towners. If our team fouls, we say it didn't happen. If we even think their team fouls, we scream at the ref to notice it, and possibly torch his car for not seeing it.
Then the sport is shown on TV. The news knows the home team is the big heroes, so they show the heroes scoring and doing amazing things. Even if the score is 12 to 108, they show those 12 like they were common. If you want to know a weird thing for sports broadcasting, its getting the end score from coaches from a loss. They will not tell you.
But then we treat politics like a sport, and the News gets to decide who is the home team. then they take it to levels of insanity, and never reveal the score of a losing game.
Mean while we are yelling at the ref, and not realizing what is happening.
