"press refuses to cover something"

This, in my modest opinion, is why so many people vote for liberals. The half-story or non-story had been the main crime of the media for decades. The least knowledgeable a person is about facts, the more likely they vote for Democrats.

But I've known people who swear to be conservative Republicans spout liberal gibberish from time to time. I have to correct them. Some protest because "they heard it over the news." Then I have to tell them not to believe everything they see on the news. Which is something you should not have to tell a Republican.
