Bannister went on to note how many Americans saw the glaring double standard in the press: “Overall, 58% of all voters say the news media are less aggressive in questioning Biden than they were in questioning Trump, while just 17% think the media are tougher on Biden.” He pointed out that even “more than a third (38%) of Democrats concur that Biden is being treated better.”

NewsBusters Reader,
The media have abandoned all pretense of objectivity to become a pro bono ad agency for the progressive movement, infusing left-wing talking points into every issue, from the pandemic to the “cultural revolution.”
“Truth in journalism,” once a reporter’s credo, is now a relic of a bygone era.
At MRC’s NewsBusters, we analyze the threat to democracy the media has become and expose the tools of their trade: deceit, bias, omission, and manipulation.
NewsBusters combats the liberal media with truth and facts, both kryptonite to the Left. Our successes are many but our challenge is great. It’s NewsBusters vs. the mainstream media Goliath. The great equalizer? You.
