The Drive-By media has been given the green light to go after Ocasio-Cortez... by Pelosi and the House leadership. Tacitly, of course. Reason: she, and other "uppity (my term)" freshmen poses a threat to the orderly running of the House. And the media knows they are totally beholden to the Democrat Party leadership and will do anything they're told. (Did I get it pretty much right, David?)

So the (true) stories that she doesn't know much of what she's talking about have been cleared by "upper management."
