How many people get up in arms about this 'spying' when the Democrats

Plenty. It's a bipartisan issue, much though Republicans would like to
think otherwise.

The difference is that when it's Republicans, the media trumpets it on
the front pages, but when it's Democrats, it's downplayed and buried on
the inside pages, when it's covered at all. The behavior may be
bipartisan, but the coverage certainly isn't.
