The media is definitely biased against liars and the different flavors of that: people who distort, spin, and misrepresent. And to be really direct about it, Trump is all of those things. The fact is, the media should be biased against such people.
- product50 8y agoWell - there is your bias. While I am not saying Trump is always truthful, there are a small no. of things he is doing which are at least debatable (such as his stance against China or the new UCMCA pact or the Tax Bill) but NYTimes has never called those out in a thoughtful manner. All I get from NYTimes is "how" Trump/GOP was able to force things through via politics in Congress vs. the actual merits/demerits of the "thing" itself. I feel WSJ is at least more neutral (but it could be leaning right though I am not sure) and tries to analyze topics more principally vs. emotionally/morally.
- leesalminen 8y agoI’d agree about WSJ trying to be neutral. Even my left leaning parents, both of whom are life long New York liberals, have ditched NYT almost entirely and now read WSJ daily.
- leesalminen 8y agoThat made me laugh, so thanks for that. To me it seems that both the media and Trump distort, spin and misrepresent things with nearly every sentence they utter. Different sides of the same coin.
