Perhaps we've discovered, particularly during and post-Trump, that the media does not have the Democrats' best interests at heart. By promoting bothsiderism and ignoring to a large extent the blatant obfuscation and misdirection of the right, the MSM has effectively carried the Republicans' water (whilst being condemned as being atrocious waterboys by politicians and their constituencies the whole time).

Couldn't possibly be that the m$m is not being truthful in their assessments?? PortTack Feb 2022 #1
