    Yeah they do that because the people who own the media know two things:

    1. The Dems will get criticised by both people left of them and people right of them, so raking them over the coals generates a lot of outrage which equals to clicks and views.

    2. They can use this public perception pressure to ensure they keep passing policies that are, if not aligned with, don’t affect the super rich owners and donators. Because the media owners can always dial up the jingoism and get the republicans elected again at the subsequent end of second term election.
