The problem with these people is that they're just in it for the money. They'll say whatever they are required to, to make money.
Having double standards is not a problem when you don't really have any standards to begin with. These people don't approach political commentary from the perspective of having a logically consistent ideological platform.
There's a whole bunch of market researchers, consultants, experts, etc. figuring out the most marketable patterns, as far as news, political stances, social trends, which will create a website/news channel the most profit. After that, come the partisan hacks with the million dollar salaries, to say whatever they are told to say, parroting whatever ideas or stories are the most marketable at the time, to their audience.
To hate these people for their opinions or hypocrisy is misguided. They have no opinions, they have no real solid ideas to be hypocritical about. They're just prostitutes, whoring out themselves and the nation, for a bigger slice of the cake. That's what you should despise them for.
