"I think it’s become clear that fairness is overrated ... the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in," Holt said on Tuesday night while accepting an award at the 45th Murrow Symposium. Lester Holt feels "the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in."

After seeing what universities are producing (AOC), that isn’t that much of an insult.

The media is over rated and no longer needed.

Lately, the only bright spot I’ve run across was the Tucker interview of Murray, “Madness of Crowds”. He said one way to correct the societal decline is for each and everyone to pledge to “Tell the Truth”. Then you realize there are some determined to gain power by any means necessary.

Truth is the self-expression of God and journalist exhibit/are a polarity reverse from God.

A sane society would 'Kill Them All' (Of course in Minecraft).

I agree that “fairness” is over-rated when it comes to liberal’s ideas.

“It isn’t fair that some make so much money and other’s don’t!”

“It isn’t fair that some can afford a nice car and others have to ride the bus.”

“It isn’t fair that the wealthy still get Social Security while the poor get less.” (Okay, you get the idea.)

"the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in."

So he repeated that three times?

He wouldn’t feel that way if the Commiecrats were on the receiving end of all the corruption that has been going on since election night.

No one with a functioning brain believes Lester or anyone else in big media gives both sides a fair hearing. I haven’t truly seen fair hearings of both sides, since the early 1980s.

Why do you think your numbers keep going down, libtard media?

Fairness is overrated.

So I’m guessing Lester is against “Fair Tax” rates.
