She's not wrong. The press should comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
The issue is that they only do it with Republicans, and not even the bad kind of Republicans, and never with members of their own party.
The press should be asking tough but fair questions and probe into things. That will invariably make politicians uncomfortable but making them uncomfortable shouldn't be the goal- just an acceptable byproduct you don't worry about.
