Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?

29. Your very oddly edited first paragraph is extremely misleading, at best.

You imply that that's how Media Bias characterizes "American Prospect". That's false, your edited quote is from their generic description of left bias. Just as bad, you left out the very important "may" from the original description. Why?

Here's the original paragraph:

LEFT BIAS
These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Left Bias sources

Here's your version, in which you incorrectly indicate that it's a description of American Prospect, and leave out the very important "may":

It also says they "... utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using an appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy."

This is how Media Bias actually and specifically characterized American Prospect :

Analysis / Bias

In review, The American Prospect reports original political news from a liberal perspective. Stories are well written, and headlines contain moderately loaded language that favors the left, such as this: The Republican War on the Capital Gains Tax. This story is very well sourced to the New York Times, Washington Post, Bloomberg, and Whitehouse.gov.

Economically, the American Prospect aligns with the progressive left with articles such as this: The 5 Biggest Corporate Lies About Unions. When it comes to science, they support the consensus on climate change, vaccines, and GMOs.
