THREADETTE House always said: "Everyone lies." I've always said, "everyone's biased." Now, others on Right may disagree, but I own my bias. That doesn't mean I'm going to lie, misrepresent, or mislead, and this morning, it dawned on me difference in bias from Right & Left. 1/
2/ Right's bias (in general) is limited to what it reports or focuses on and word choice, i.e. "intoned" versus "said," while the bias from the Left? Selection & word choice are there in spades, but so is creating false narratives and outrightly lying.
3/ This article (please do read because it really walks through how the false narratives are created), is a perfect illustration of the creating of a false narrative (which later leads to an outright lie). thefederalist.com/2019/05/31/law…
4/ And this article exposes the outright lies @RepAdamSchiff told & media allowed him to sidestep other than @MorganOrtagus and Schiff's lies were so bad here b/c not only did he know truth, he knew Americans couldn't b/c info. was classified. thefederalist.com/2019/12/16/ig-…
5/ Another problem w/ Left's bias is it exists as much in legacy outlets as newer left-leaning outlets, giving legacy outlets (formerly known as MSM) a veneer of objectivity right-leaning outlets don't have b/c they don't have same history.
6/ So, many Americans still believe corrupt media (f/k/a MSM) & wrongly think they are unbiased b/c 100 years ago, they were (less biased). Yet it is corrupt media that takes bias beyond coverage & language to false narratives & lies.
7/7 So, yes, everyone is biased: But, in general, it is the Left that allows that bias to cause them to peddle lies. END
