   Of course.   
   This isn't a free speech issue, it's a being in the tank for the Democrats   
   while attacking everything the Republicans do.   
   It's so obvious, which is why so many different outlets have published studies   
   some of which I posted.   
      
   Not that anyone needs a study as 15 minutes of watching CNN or MSNBC or the   
   local   
   affiliates will be enough for all but the most severely infect TDS sufferer to   
   realize.

   Nope.   
   When a party does something out of the norm that could be construed as wrong,   
   a mistake, etc there is nothing wrong with reporting it.   
   The question is HOW the MSM reports it.   
      
   Example: Trump holds onto a railing while walking down a slippery wooden ramp   
   wearing new shoes and the media is all over it reporting that Trump is having   
   age related issues.   
      
   Meanwhile in Biden land he's falling all over the place, wandering around   
   aimlessly   
   shaking hands with invisible people and the press says nothing other than being   
   forced to show it because it's a live feed.   
   Even still, the MSM attempts to crop shots, alter audio and so forth to attack   
   Trump.   
      
   >>>> The fact remains, Trump said it and was *accurately* reported as being   
   >>>> a liar.  Do you consider that "negative press"?   
   >>>   
   >>> I consider not reporting on his successes or lying by omission unfair.

   Is putting a $25 million dollar bounty on a very bad person, Maduro, a crime?   
   Why put a bounty on a person if the idea isn't to capture him?   
   etter ask Joe Biden about that one.   
      
   Oh, and you might want to take a look at some of your democrat friends quotes   
   from   
   a few years ago demanding something be done about Maduro.   
      
   Chuck Schumer for one.   
      
   See that on MSNBC?   
      
      
      
   >>> Just the other day Dana Bash of CNN was forced to admit that Trump did get   
   >>> the border under control.   
   >>

   Is protecting the legal inhabitants of the USA by arresting criminals a   
   success?   
   You lefties are always so concerned about the rights of the bad guys.   
   It's actually sick IMHO.   
      
   The safety of America should be first and foremost on the POTUS list of job   
   roles.   
   America first = Trump   
   America last = Biden and the last administration.   
      
   And BTW there isn't a country on the planet where they don't feel the same   
   about   
   their country as well.
