Media bias
Fprmer NPR CEO speaks

"When you are liberal, and everyone else around you is as well, it is easy to fall into groupthink on what stories are important, what sources are legitimate and what the narrative of the day will be."

"I found an America far different from the one depicted in the press and imagined by presidents (“cling to guns or religion”) and presidential candidates (“basket of deplorables”) alike."

RE: Media bias
If yall know me, I am far from a Trump supporter. Middle of the road, probably even liberal for Texas.

Trump's tweet after the UCLA player's arrival annoyed me, although he did a great thing for these players, saving them time in a Chinese prison.

But this is most garbage editorial I have ever read on CNN:

RE: Media bias
This is a good place for this.

Almost certainly, Project Veritas has been caught red handed trying to get the Washington Post to publish a false story about a woman who was impregnated by Roy Moore. Unfortunately for PV, the Post has some journalistic integrity, did their research, realized this woman was lying, and is now calling out the woman and her likely ties to PV for this.

Not surprised at all to read this, knowing the lengths PV has gone to supposedly fight the biased MSM, when they actually are the ones who are incredibly biased and willing to do unethical things to tarnish the name of respected media organizations.

Quote:A woman who falsely claimed to The Washington Post that Roy Moore, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Alabama, impregnated her as a teenager appears to work with an organization that uses deceptive tactics to secretly record conversations in an effort to embarrass its targets.

In a series of interviews over two weeks, the woman shared a dramatic story about an alleged sexual relationship with Moore in 1992 that led to an abortion when she was 15. During the interviews, she repeatedly pressed Post reporters to give their opinions on the effects that her claims could have on Moore's candidacy if she went public.

The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups.

RE: Media bias
Here is a prime example:

Protester dies after struck by speeding car at Black Lives Matter freeway demonstration in Seattle

Quote:A young protester has died from injuries suffered when a luxury car plowed into Black Lives Matter demonstrators Saturday on a Seattle freeway

Focus on the luxury car, but not the black driver. In fact, never even mention that the driver was black.
