My mother had ABC (World News tonight, I think) on the TV last night. I'm always glad to see her watching ANYTHING other than Fox. The anchor, forget his name, was happily touting the "majority of Americans support Trump's handling of immigration/deportations" which alarmed me coming from anywhere but Fox. Then I remembered everything going on between ABC (and all the other media) and Trump, and realized it didn't mean anything. They are reporting to an audience of one. Maybe it's true, maybe not, maybe it's just extremely spun.
I don't believe its true, not in that simple encapsulation.
Oh well.

in this mess.
But way too many people are just looking for bias
confirmation.

(1,593 posts)The most recent example is the firing of Terry Moran. Terry's offenses were his interview with Trump, calling him out on the Photoshopped picture of Kilmar Garcia's hand shopping "MS13" on his fingers. The second offense was a Social Media posting where he called Trump a 'world-class hater'.
