They'll only report on the parts that they can use to vilify the big bad orange, while neglecting how this is an unprecedented peace deal.
They don't care about people or good policy, they care about winning and promoting their "team."
Let's face it, politics has become something similar to sports, where people pick teams while remaining blissfully ignorant to the policies their "team" represents or promotes. The way Democrats have begun to operate since the Obama era was to get people to "join their team" by promoting divisive identity politics in order to label any opposition as an -ist or -phobe. The average person simply can't abide being labeled as such, so they pick the "good" team. Except now, more and more people are beginning to see how vapid and duplicitous the Democrats and their MSM partners really are; their tactics are being exposed day by day by more and more people. That's the reason that mainstream news is so highly curated now. It's the reason they choose not to report on specific topics. They could lie, and try to spin it some way -- which is what they've been successfully doing for a while, until recently -- or, they could just not report it at all. Since they've been getting caught in their lies with increasing frequency more recently they've switched tactics to simply ignoring the stories that don't jive with their prescribed didactic narrative.
The best part, for me, is how much I feel like their underestimating the average persons ability for critical thinking. Many of these people running the show are much older than those they're giving these instructions to. They have a terrible grasp on how connected people really are through technology now. Many are making the exact same mistakes that conservatives made during the Bush era of thinking "people will forget" when they lie. But as time has shown, the internet doesn't forget.
Media and journalism trust is at an all time low for a reason.
The sports analogy doesn't work properly, because in reality people like Mitt Romney and George Bush are on the same team as people like Obama and the Clintons. They're on the "progressive" team which comes in two flavours. In Canada we have 4 flavours of it, but they all accomplish much of the same things.

I've seen other news play it off as Trump being isolated by western allies and is forced to consort with middle eastern powers.
Like we expected anything else.
