An example of the subtle bias of main stream media

Lester Holt (NBC) stated "over 210,000 crossed the southern border illegally in March." The highest amount ever. Then had a segment about it. I did a search and found this on Rueters news. over 210,000 illegal aliens arrested crossing southern border. The way it was delivered would put anger/fear into the minds of many. Subtle yes biased yes. Think about it!

In his interview of VP Harris a few months back, it was like attack and gotcha questions all the way.

The corporate media is definitely biased and not towards anything that might be considered liberal.
