This is pretty depressing, but not all together surprising.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-42031670

It is political twitter summarised.  Someone on your own side commits an indiscretion, you rail at those spreading a non story; someone on the other side, you retweet 20 different stories saying he is a complete areshole. 

It isn't just twitter though, the lack of balance in political reporting has always been there.
