The vast difference in the number of FOIA requests during the Obama administration vs. the Trump administration is another example of the media bias that is evident in The New York Times and Washington Post. And the coverage of the costs of the EPA trips was also an amazing contrast. Leftist/Liberal newspapers have absolutely no shame at being totally biased.

“Democracy dies in darkness.” Tell that to the Deep State.

Democracy dies in darkness.
There is really only one “media” scandal, and that is the fact that “the media” is - not are - a single entity.

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (1776)
Do journalists “meet together?” Only continuously, via the wire services. That’s been going on since there were wire services, and that started before the Civil War.

But if they might be in a “conspiracy against the public,” what should we look for them to be doing? What they do best - propaganda. Propaganda against society and promoting themselves - and big government.

The claim of journalistic objectivity is fatuous; there is no reason to think that a unified journalism would be independent of political party. The Democrats align themselves with journalism’s propaganda unreservedly, simply because self promotion is their only political principle.

Just goes to show how very selective they are in their reporting.
