In many postings this year we have provided “misleading headlines” that appear in the USA Today and other written media outlets. The bias was consistently shown as Biden and his administration screwing up. In truth, the stories with those headlines either walked back the headline statement or explained that the info was unsubstantiated. Now the media has reversed course and suddenly Donald Trump is seen as the guy we all need to fix the economy (he’s already shown he can’t do that); solve immigration (he wants to deport 20 million people but that isn’t logistically possible); ignore climate change (a dangerous course) and let the state handle abortion (that will be short-lived for obvious reasons). Our point is: As much as the media criticized Biden they are promoting Trump–EVEN BEFORE HE TAKES OFFICE. The unwillingness of the Washington Post to endorse either candidate for president is an indication of pro-Trump bias. WAPO (and many CEO’s) knew that Trump would exact revenge if he won but Harris would not. So they stayed away from any endorsement for the first time in their long history. This same fear will cause most media to support anything Trump does. The message: question everything you read. Ask yourself whether the story makes sense and whether you agree with whatever is being done. Don’t automatically buy into the hidden sales pitch the media presents. Remember: the media is to report news—not to embellish or speculate on the news. An honest and free press is essential to a democracy. And a controlled press is the hallmark of a dictatorship. Don’t let yourself be fooled!!!
