Yes, but it's the administration (or Congressional representatives, or both) PLUS complicity by the news media, who pays more attention to subjective loyalty to a 'cause,' and less attention to objective, dispassionate transmission of the facts, who are jointly to blame.
No one will accuse Fox News (and to a lesser extent MSNBC) of objectivity. CNN is more objective, it seems to me, than the other two.
That's why a partisan-free A.I. 'override' could conceivably be built into the decision-making process, which would ideally filter out human emotion, and the instinct to win at all costs, and calculate precisely the correct response to a given set of inputs..
