We at this website have a bias, though never in the facts we report. We cite facts from frontline reporters and then add analysis from the liberal-progressive side of the spectrum. We never, ever, just “repeat” news and we don’t alter facts.

There. That’s not hard to admit.

So one wonders why it is that figures on the Right have such a hard time admitting that they’re actually bringing their audience a Right-wing analysis, often skewing facts, from Right-wing sources. It is as though they believe they must present themselves as the only “truth” and that anyone who disagrees with the MAGAs are Marxists, terrible people, who are biased, unlike them.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is now an expert in journalism, too. She recognizes bias when she sees it. It happens every time someone criticizes Trump – that’s “bias.”

Chris Wallace was one of the very few journalists at Fox. Perhaps one of three when Shep was there, and now only Brett Baier remains. Wallace is very tough on Democrats, and – to be fair, he asked Trump some difficult questions and was the one who saw it coming beforehand, and asked the question; “Will you accept a loss…” and at that point, it was clear, the way Trump prevaricated about it being “fair,” one knew at that point he would not accept a loss.

So is that biased? Apparently so, according to “bias” and “journalism” expert Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Perhaps some changes we are seeing at CNN have something to do with the upcoming new owner. He said recently he wants to see CNN return to real journalism.

“But I would argue Chris Wallace has a bias so big, he’s incapable of real journalism.”

Perhaps some changes we are seeing at CNN have something to do with the upcoming new owner.

He said recently he wants to see CNN return to real journalism.

But I would argue Chris Wallace has a bias so big, he’s incapable of real journalism.

We’ll see after the closing.

Marjorie is dumber than ham. Yet she has this all figured out and she most certainly knows bias when she sees it. Pffft.

Twitter had a field day:

Wow!

It gets more and more remarkable.

The representative from the middle of nowhere isn’t just a virologist and molecular biologist.

And a climatologist.

She’s also a media expert.

Bless her heart.

Why are you always so hateful? That is not very Christian-like. Some soul searching might be in order.

Just because the facts do not agree with what you want, doesn't make them wrong or even biased.

I would like to see politicians do their jobs instead of tweeting all day, every day..

Fun fact: someone that consistently spreads vaccine and election integrity misinformation for the purpose of political gain (sound like someone you know) has no standing to claim bias on anyone
