I would imagine that getting those numbers right is hard, but it seems crucial to get them correct the first time given the outsized importance in media coverage labor statistics get.
Al Franken's existence basically undermined Kevin McCarthy entire case (ie. "Rules for thee, not for me"). Along with Katie Hill for that matter.
We can all debate the degree to which each side polices their own and whether it's enough but, objectively, the two parties are not the same on this question at this point in time.

That was a nice change of pace lol
To the extent they noticed it, it was because of how she said "the". Can't make it up.
Its fair to question Kamala's ceiling, but the way the political media has covered her beat seems pretty shallow to me.
