Extreme Media Bias and Malpractice: Imagine Trump said shootings were in Huston and Michigan

Extreme Media Bias and Malpractice: Imagine Trump said the shootings were in Huston and Michigan, what a hue and a cry their would be.

The Mainstream Media would be saying that he was deranged, unfit for office and should be impeached. It would be the news 24x7 for weeks. CNN would be saying "We've got him now".

BUT IT'S NOT TRUMP WHO SAID THIS, BUT JOE BIDEN. Yes the front runner of the Democrats who is at the top of the pack. No, says the Mainstream Media, we can't report this. Joe may slur his speech and stutter, that's fine, but he can't be reported to have Major Gaffes.

So what is this? To me it looks like Extreme Media Bias and Malpractice. If Trump would be pilloried for this then so should Joe Biden. If Trump would deserve derision 24x7 then so should Joe Biden. BUT JOE GETS THE KID GLOVE TREATMENT.

Recently, in the Democratic debate, Don Lemon posed the question “What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the President’s bigotry?”. He did this without providing any proof of bigotry. Imagine Don had said this of Kamala Haris "her bigotry"; Oh the HUE AND A CRY! He would be run off the Stage. But because the smear was on Trump, Don gets a pass.

So it is quite clear that Extreme Media Bias and Malpractice that in any decent school of Journalism would decry, is occurring. Yet we are not hearing from the Schools and Colleges on these major breaches of Journalistic standards. So then we can say the bias is pervasive in the the very foundations of Journalism.

It is very sad to see. And I would imagine that many have no sorrow to see Journalistic jobs vanishing and the ratings collapse of major news networks. It is only going to get predictably worse as many "Journalists/Reporters" have gone ALL IN", throwing Objectivity and Neutrality by way side.

Very Sad.

IIRC, President Trump said, “Toledo” instead of “Dayton,” during a Q & A or during his address to the nation and he was taken to task (derided) for that mistake. I think he made the error during the address because the hateful media couldn’t be certain if the blunder was his own doing or the fault of the teleprompter.

You can do wonders for your mental health and peace of mind if you stop thinking of it as “the media” (with all that that implies) and start referring to them as the “propaganda organs” of the side that hates you and your world view.

At that point you will no longer find it necessary to write such vanities. Instead of being “shocked” by their bias, you will be expecting it, and the world will again make sense.

Born and raised in any other State and move there- READ THE SIGN YOU MISSED.
