Look at the numbers: Something like 50% of Fox News viewers believe ridiculous falsehoods, like Obama wasn't born in the country or Saddam really had WMD. There are studies showing that Fox News viewers are less informed than no-news viewers. There are no such studies for the NYT, editorial page bias notwithstanding.

Those demographics aren't necessarily a reflection of the degree of bias in the media coverage. More educated/well-informed people could just have a preference for one form of bias over another.

Well he wasn't. The birth certificate has been shown to have many signs of forgery [1]. The Hawaiian Health department worker who signed off on the copy of it died mysteriously in a plane crash.

How is that different from the liberal left to believe trump is a sexoffender for saying "grab them by the p"? There are just as many angled stories in the mainstream media and they are actually worse because they claim to be objective.

  Because he's literally describing committing assault. Also, this is what happened: Trump, unprompted: I like to grab women by the pussy! Women: So yeah, Trump grabbed me by the pussy. Trump & conservatives: Bitches be lyin'

      Dude. He's describing what he does as a celebrity. Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Bush: Whatever you want. Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

        He is describing some of what he does as a celebrity in general terms and some of what you can do do. None of that is for a specific incident. Furthermore if you are going to call what he describes sexual assault then all men who lean in on a women and start kissing them are committing sexual assault. Any guy who tries to get his hand up under a womans shirt is committing sexual assault. You forgot the part of "they let you do it". Thats not sexual assault.
