No, what you are seeing is people refusing to be spun up into rumor-mongering, which is good because you don't want all the air going to spurious claims and counterclaims when there are factual and uncontroversial observations to be angry about instead

How does this in any way relate to moral relativism?

I should’ve phrased it better. It seems like many people think those in power are entitled to some moral leniency when they should face higher scrutiny.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

I don’t think that you actually mean anything by this. “Moral relativism” seems entirely irrelevant.
