I think that by admitting bias did they not just expose themselves to lawsuit? Think people, there has to be someway to sue when a media outlet shows bias. If someone were to sue and win then it would open up all of them to current and future lawsuits. They would either have to pay up or change their status and lose the protections offered to “journalists”.
If some individual claimed that the distortion of the WaPo caused them to vote for O and that they now see that they were duped by what was supposed to be a representative media outlet?
Any lawyers out there? I think that since the media has some protections in the constitution that they also have some responsibilities to present information in an unbiased format.
Maybe not, but it just seems like there would be something there to sue over...
for reasons that i do not understand,
our side is less aggressive at all levels.
