Just wait for it. . .

The media has enabled Pussy-Grabber the entire time his fat ass has been planted in the White House. We've dealt with all the gas lighting imaginable, including an impeachment that SHOULD have removed him from office and placed him and others in prison.

If we manage to win in November, the fucking media will be at it again just like they did with Hillary. It will be non-stop, 24-7, coverage of Hunter Biden and other non-issues like Benghazi. It doesn't matter that Pussy-Grabber is responsible for almost 180,00 deaths and climbing and ohter scandals that would dwarf anything we've seenin US history. . . Oh no. . . It will be outrage over Jill Biden wearing a sleeveless dress or some other bullshit. . .

2. The misperception that there are two sides to every story

and that both sides must be given equal attention and respect has led the media astray. Because there is more than one way of perceiving an occurrence does not mean that both are of equal value. It's time to discard the notion that unless both liberal and conservative positions are presented as equally valid is toxic to communicating what is really happening, and it's reached its extreme in this president whose lies have been presented with a straight face for too long.

"Fact checking" was singing to the choir. The decision should have been made early on to simply not report untruths, period. Does creationism deserve equally serious reporting as evolution? How about chloroquine or drinking bleach?
