Are you genuinely asking for examples, or are you just declaring your opinion in bad faith?

NPR reports on DNC mishaps and criminals all the time:

I don't have a strong view on this yet, but I think some links that are less than 5 years old would make your argument more compelling.

There haven't been criminal convictions of federal democratic politicians in the last 5 years to report on.

Also, it's moving the goal posts.

GP asked for literally any critical reporting. You missed the goal posts, they didn’t move.

GP can provide non-NPR examples over the last five years maybe and cross-corelate with any NPR coverage to prove their point? I disagree, this is moving goalposts.

GP asked for critical articles and received them. Changing the requirements to be for the last five years is moving the goalposts, by way of a no-true-scotsman.

Agree, if there are not even 5 solid examples from the last 5 years, that's pretty suggestive.
