    Default The rise of a pro-democracy media

    The media has long had a problematic “both sides” approach to covering politics. After Donald Trump became president, the media couldn’t avoid covering him very negatively. So the press essentially adopted a modified version of both sides, implying that Trump was an outlier but the two parties were otherwise fairly similar.

    Then came the attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, culminating in the Jan. 6. attack on the Capitol, all of which proved decisively that it wasn’t just Trump — much of the Republican Party was willing to break with core democratic values to hold power.

    'much'?

    Oh there is a descriptive word that could not possibly be confused as to the numbers it represents.



    'Much' of the Republican Party?

    Much as in 3 or much as in 3 million?

    Ridiculous article and thread, IMO.


    Why don't you just change your handle to 'I HATE EVERYONE WHOM DOES NOT LOVE BIDEN'?


    Btw - once again - I am neither Dem nor Rep.
