The Hill loves to surface and promote quotes and takes from Republicans that make Republicans look good, that no real news outlet would otherwise talk about. Sometimes it’s just a headline that is the key propaganda — they love to write headlines that push GOP talking points, or otherwise advantage the GOP. And the majority of news readers only read headlines.

This is a key feature of the Hill’s rightwing bias: they talk about what Republicans want to talk about, helping to move our public discourse in the direction of the GOP.
