We're More Thoughtful Than the Biased Democrats on Television!
On CNN, a "reporter" interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris gushes, "I'm struck, just in your presence! Looking you in the eye, with your passion ... " Really? Even Harris looked embarrassed. My new video shows how the mainstream media treat conservatives and libertarians differently. We shouldn't be surprised.
Reporters overwhelmingly lean Democrat. A survey by The American Journalist found that for every Republican in a newsroom, there are 10 Democrats. The reporters claim to be objective. They aren't.
News networks always covered Iowa Caucus victory speeches. Not this year -- After Donald Trump won. CNN cut away from his speech, and MSNBC didn't carry it at all.
Recently, NPR hired a new CEO. They chose Katherine Maher, who once tweeted that "Trump is a racist." During BLM looting, she tweeted, "It's hard to be mad about protests not prioritizing the private property of a system of oppression." Now she's the boss of government-funded radio? Sadly, yes.
Recently, the media got very upset about rule of law. Outraged anchors said, "Texas refuses to give in to federal law." This was because Texas politicians won't remove a fence that the feds told them to remove.
An outraged NBC asked, "Why isn't the Biden administration suing Texas?" That's actually a reasonable question. Rule of law deserves discussion. But when it comes to sanctuary cities, the media show no such outrage. These places merely "choose not to follow federal immigrations laws," says an ABC anchor They don't "refuse," like Texas does.
Finally, it's absurd how the media label politicians. Argentina's new president, Javier Milei, is a libertarian. He wants to shrink his country's corrupt bureaucracy. So, the media call him a "far-right radical."
But we libertarians aren't "far-right," or even "right." Most of us want to end wars. We support free trade, gay marriage, drug decriminalization and other things far from "far-right."
Milei wants to increase the supply of donated organs by legalizing their sale. That's not "far-right." The American Economic Association found 43% of conservatives oppose organ sales.
But the media smear Milei as "far" or "hard" or "extreme right." Maybe it's because he wants to cut the size of the government. The clueless media like big government. They exaggerate any proposed cuts.
