2. impartial arbiter of facts, right. like how they forcefully reminded us what al gore *did* do to create the internet

al gore we led the charge in early funding in congress to create the internet well before the world wide web came about.

then al gore twisted arms to get massive amounts of government information from all departments and agencies, turning the web from a mere curiosity to a massively treasure trove of information.

but no, the new york times, along with the rest of the media, perpetuated the lie that his simple boast about his legitimate contributions were actually somehow a claim to have been an engineer who literally "invented" it, a word he didn't use.


years later, did they forcefully remind us that obama was a natural-born citizen by virtue of being born to a kansas woman, and in an american state, no less? or did they stir up bizarre and blatantly racist evidence-free lies that he was actually born in kenya, which, again, still wouldn't have made him not a natural-born citizen, because, again, his mother was an american citizen from kansas.


and did they point out that the hillary email witch hunt was a blatant abuse of congressional investigatory powers to smear a political opponent over a matter that could never reasonably be expected to result in an indictment? that there was no probably cause of any crime?


and do they harp on all the astounding scariness of donnie's nazi proposals, or how ridiculously unfit he is for office? do scandalize his every imperfection, or do they go ho hum and quickly move on from literally everything, including the fact that he's an official criminal, rapist, fraudster, liar, cheat, and insurrectionist?

mountainous scandals out of nothingburger molehills for democrats, nothingburger molehills out of mountainous scandals for republicans.


impartial arbiters of facts, yeah right.
