"It is about the mainstream versus populism. Why are mainstream politicians denied the kind of generosity populists are granted? Why are they not allowed to define the manner in which the story is told? Why are their crimes magnified while those of the populists are barely mentioned? Why are their trials considered criminal matters while those of the populists are treated as a danger to democracy? Why are their days in court covered like a moment of personal shame and humiliation, while those of the populists are treated like an act of combative resistance?"
