You see in America the media and most citizens do allow for republicans to have no rules, morals or standards and impossible rules, morals and standards for Democrats.

Even Democrats contribute to this, often. Even I have sometimes said "we have to be better than them" in a situation where we are currently ten thousand times better but we best be 10,001 times better, thus shooting ourselves in the foot.

We have been conditioned to realize that since everybody with a brain knows the right is always wrong, we have to compensate for their ignorance and therefore we have to follow the rules and they dont.

It is quite simple, the right is wrong about absolutely everything and that makes the media and some of us feel guilty.
