I understand you want to appear as the level-headed centrist, Marty, but don’t be obtuse. Even those on the left are stifling giggles at your assertion.

Whether I am a levelheaded centrist, or a levelheaded conservative or whatever, I just don't believe there's a grand conspiracy among the news media.  There is bias.  But it's just normal unavoidable bias.  If you were a reporter, you would report things the way you saw them and you would filter the facts to support whatever you think the real story is.  There's nothing dishonest about that.  It's what any reporter has to do.  No reporter can report every single fact.  That's impossible.  So they have to select certain facts to tell what the real story is, as they see it.  

And I'm not trying to appear levelheaded or anything.  I'm just giving you my opinion.  If, in doing that, I appear levelheaded, well, good.  I'm not putting on an act.  These are my real opinions that I post here.

And like the media, your opinion is conveniently devoid of relevant fact. You're attempting to justify institutionalized misinformation. Remember when Trump said COVID originated in a Chinese lab and he was called a racist by the entire leftist MSM? Now what are they saying? Gosh, is it any coincidence the left and the right view the media as being untrustworthy? 

Anyway, enjoy your refreshing shower.
