I don't think this is a case of Sen. Collins duping the national media.
The truth is that, for obscure and complicated reasons, many Washington-based reporters are desperate to believe that Collins is above the fray. And so they'll do somersaults to support that narrative, even in the face of evidence that undercuts it. Even when the junior senator herself is supplying the evidence.
Collins may have created the myth that she's indifferent to partisan concerns, but members of the national media have always been willing accomplices.
