Honestly, a political bias like the one shown here doesn't surprise me that much. News outlets have historically always endorsed a candidate.

What surprises me are the outright lies. I was in DC when the Trump chicken was there. It was the size of a sports mascot. In the photos on the news, they made it look as big as a blimp. Then of course they did actually make the giant blimp. But the first one was not that big.

And there's always some kind of demonstration going on in front of the white house. If it's one the news orgs favor, then they report on it, like it's some huge happening. But I used to go to DC for business a lot, and there was always a demonstration going on.

Plus, DC has about an hour of decent weather each year, the rest of the time it's freezing, or it's hot as shit. So when reporters say they're reporting from the white house, that's a lie, unless they're either wearing a winter parka, or dripping buckets of sweat. I'd see them say it all the time when I'd be sitting in my hotel room because it was too damn cold, or too damn hot to go do anything.

I've seen reporters pretending to row a boat through a flood that was ankle deep.

I actually got interviewed by a reporter about a new park in our town, and she said "Would you say this park is perfect for young children and toddlers?" And I told her no, the park on the other side of town was better because it had a spongey substrate. She didn't print my response, but found someone to agree with the words she was putting in their mouth, and printed that one. I think she actually rolled her eyes at me. But my memory could be exaggerating.

Oh, and let's not forget all the employees at the health center they had line up to pretend to get tested for Covid.

No, it's the lies that bother me, not necessary the politicking. I think creating fake news should be a crime.
