Liberal partisans who want to crush any shred of fairness in reporting are latching on to a Friday column in the Los Angeles Times by Jackie Calmes, who was an “objective” reporter for decades. The headline was "Why journalists are failing the public with ‘both-siderism’ in political coverage."

Jay Rosen, the academic guru of unabashed socialism in the news columns and newscasts, tweeted "I have been waiting for this column — by a former political reporter — for a very long time." This was the theme:

Calmes even suggests that focusing critically now on Biden and the Democrats is a distortion and a disservice! Democracy is at stake -- so it's no time for "both-siderism" in the news! Accountability is irresponsible with Trump still out there!

They have now given up on even trying to PRETEND to be unbiased.

One problem with this clown’s thinking is that there news stories have any “side” at all.

Libs love the (un)free press.
It’s part of their double standard dictum.
Sorry libs, ain’t gonna happen.
Your time is coming.
Or perhaps better said, your time is gonna end.
Not nicely, either.

Feeling low? Do you sometimes doubt your intellect, morals, judgement? Read a lib newspaper and shazam, you will find someone that you know without doubt is far more inferior and stupid than you could ever imagine for yourself. After all, they are journalists - the profession down there at the bottom with politicians, eddikators, and lib arts professors.

Nancy gave them marching orders. She said the Media needs to do a better job selling the bill for the Dems.
“Well, I think you all could do a better job of selling it, to be very frank with you,” said Pelosi.
