No one should trust our “mainstream media” in defining where the “center” of politics is from their perch on the left-wing fringes. No one should trust them to define who is “nonpartisan” and who is “independent.”
The way they classify political actors is subtle, and yet blatantly unfair and unbalanced.
Reporters describe the groups they like as “nonpartisan” or in ameliorative terms like “civil rights groups” to persuade low-information voters that their side of the debate is more reliable and conscientious.
On Tuesday morning, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a new law allowing the state’s law-enforcement agencies to arrest migrants. NBC called it “controversial” and noted the Biden White House called it “extreme.” NBC then described Abbott’s leftist opponents: “Civil rights groups have threatened to sue.”
