If they’re covered as if there is that (false) balance, it helps the more rotten of the two, a ton.
Lol. Good point.
Yeah “balance” is a charade. Like with climate change. “What are the 2 sides saying?”
Yep, same thing with Evolution versus Creationism. “Teach the controversy!!” “Ya mean the one you invented out of whole-cloth?”
Basically, when the facts aren’t on their side, work the refs. American media for far too long has succumbed to right-wing whining/pressure. Righties, IMO, have always been far better at working the refs. The Coach Ks of politics. The Peyton Mannings of media, etc. etc.
