Florida Democrat Pizzo quits party, media portrayals warped

Crisp indication of legacy media's alliance with the woke Democrat Party was not requested, but appeared on America's doorstep, regardless. 

Last week, reportedly centrist Florida Democrat State Senate leader Jason Pizzo left that increasingly unpopular party. He was reportedly the third elected Florida Democrat to do so in recent weeks, and announced his decision on the senate floor.

Pizzo is now an independent.

The Florida Phoenix quoted him as aptly observing: "[T]he Democratic Party that his father volunteered for when John F. Kennedy ran for president in 1960 was not the same party today."

Pizzo said the party "craves and screams anarchy and then demands amnesty, and that’s not okay. I’ve always been criticized by the far left and the far right, but you know what the small businesses and the hard-working families and the teachers and the cops and the firemen want us to do? Be public servants, not politicians."

The Hill quoted him as remarking: “I belong to, or have belonged to, a party that’s far more concerned at times about pronouns than about property taxes (and) that just wastes so much time and sucks the oxygen and capacity."

The state senator's caustic estimates were not without precedent.

"Pizzo previously criticized Democrats on social media for failing to applaud a 13 year-old boy with brain cancer, DJ Daniel, during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address," News Nation wrote.

Notably, numerous established press venues did not quote the outgoing state senator's acidic assessment of his erstwhile party, but did made points of parading before their audiences nastiness targeted at Pizzo by Florida Democrat Party Chair Nikki Fried.

"Jason’s failure to build support within our party for a gubernatorial run has led to this final embarrassing temper tantrum. I’d be lying if I said I’m sad to see him go, but I wish him the best of luck in the political wilderness he’s created for himself," she reportedly snarked, in part.

(Under Fried's administration, Democrats already had only a "super-minority" in the state senate, reports hold.)

Marquee outlets that strategically omitted from their coverage Pizzo's enumeration of the Democrat Party's howling negatives, but instead  amplified ineffective party chair Fried's ad hominem broadside, were not acting as objective journalistic operations; rather, as unethical partisans.

Of course, no one needed more proof of their mendacity.
