In 2003, when we went into Iraq and after 2 1/2 weeks, the news media was reporting that we were bogged down and it was another Viet Nam. The next thing you know, we are rolling through Bahgdad and pulling down the statue. Then in 2005, when photos were shown of the all the school buses sitting under water - buses that could have been used by the local authorities to transport people out of the city. I thought people would wake up but they did not.
After 9/11, as the years went by, they would show less and less of the planes crashing into the buildings. Flying man virtually disappeared. President Trump talked about how he saw people celebrating the disaster and was called a liar. But I remember seeing it also.
One last thing about Katrina. When Tony Snow had a talk radio program, he reported the news of all the disappearing police from New Orleans. He reported that the police did not disappear because they were never there. These were made up police and someone was collecting the pay for fake police. After that, I never heard about it again as I am sure someone ordered that story spiked. As a matter of fact, shortly after reporting that story, he accepted the job of Bush's press secretary. Draw your own conclusions.
Since 9/11, whenever there was a terrorist attack or shooting within the United States, I always knew it was Muslim/Islam because the news reader would never mention the name of the shooter or the religion. The same thing when a crime is committed by one of Obama's children. If they do not mention the race, you can bet a dollar to a donut it was a black that committed the crime. You also know a story is false by how quickly it disappears.
Anyway, my two cents.
I always suspected it was slanted.
My first realization that there was serious problems. Early in the Clinton administration when the Whitewater issue began to heat up. Suddenly there were reports of documents being shredded in the offices of (I think) the McDougals.
I was sure there would be a huge uptake in negative press takes on the Clintons. I based that on how I remember the reaction of the press when similar things happened in the Nixon administration. Shredding documents was “covering up the crime,” which was “worse than the actual crime”.
Instead pretty much crickets...
