"Biased" doesn't necessarily mean "false". I don't think there is any question that The Washington Post had an agenda against the Nixon Administration in the early to mid 70's for a number of reasons. Ben Bradlee, the WAPO editor, was high on Nixon's famous "enemies list" and he knew it. Of course he wanted his reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, to take Nixon down. However, that doesn't mean that what Woodward and Bernstein reported on the Watergate break-in and cover up, was false. You can be biased and still do good, fact-based reporting.Because it’s mostly media background noise and the media has attacked him non-stop since 2015.
Why do you continue to believe the media’s reporting and narratives when they are so obviously biased against Trump?
90+ percent negative stories for an entire presidency is unprecedented. It’s just not normal.
Ever think about it and ask yourself why?
Do you honestly think Trump is the most qualified candidate? IMO, he is either willfully ignorant or completely incompetent of how the government works, and how to incorporate or even communicate his policies. I watched the speeches from the RNC and many of them just fear mongered on how bad Biden’s America would be. There wasn’t much talk about policy or how we would deliver on anything in the next 4 years.
I don’t get the rationale of Trump supporters so trying to understand. And concerning the comments in the report, they basically corroborate public statements he’s made in the past. Hell he talked about grabbing women by the pussy and numerous other comments before the election and no one cares.
I mean you can tell just by watching the Apprentice that he’s a dumbass. I don’t get it.
You can’t even be honest with yourself. Pointless to try to have a meaningful conversation."Biased" doesn't necessarily mean "false".

... and the stories and reporting on the George W. Bush administration were just as negative. GWB didn't complain as much. That is the only difference. Try and find a positive story from either The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN or MSNBC on the Bush presidency from 2004-2008. You can't do it. So, it's hardly "unprecedented". Trump is just whining more than most Republicans do. Trump loves to present himself as a victim, and his supporters are eager to lap that up.
If Biden’s team is responsible for the ad, probably 3 weeks based on all other media they’ve put out in 2020.
Is it libelous if this can be proven false?
No I didn’t. That’s why I asked.I doubt it. Sarah Palin, ironically, is about the only public figure I know of with a libel case that seems winnable.
You realize you’d potentially be liable to a number of people under any standard that would make Biden liable to Trump, right?
They did. Nixon complained a lot too. GWB mostly rolled with the punches. He had a much thicker skin than Trump does. Do you remember the Dan Rather/Mary Mapes scandal produced by the CBS show "48 Hours" involving George W. Bush's service in the National Guard in 2004?Your assertion that Nixon and GWB had as bad or worse treatment by the media is ludicrous.
You can’t even admit what’s happening. I’m guessing it’s because you agree with the media and end the negative coverage.
Like I said. You can’t be honest with yourself.They did. Nixon complained a lot too. GWB mostly rolled with the punches. He had a much thicker skin than Trump does.
Dems: powerful statement from Biden
Republicans: Old dotard flubbed the word "backbone."
No I didn’t. That’s why I asked.
You don’t ever get off your legal high horse, huh?
Sometimes people ask questions because they really don’t know.
The Dan Rather/48 Hours scandal was in 2004 in the heat of GWB's re-election campaign. Sorry, but you are wrong. The heat that Trump is facing as a Republican president is not "unprecedented".Like I said. You can’t be honest with yourself.
Too young to remember Nixon, but GWB was given a pass through nearly his entire first term after 9/11
They piled on GWB in his 2nd term. Katrina was a big story in 2005.
Because having anonymous conversations on a college football fan message board is exactly the same as a campaign ad for POTUS.My bad, I guess all the reposting of baseless pedophilia accusations caused me to momentarily forget your outrage at all the arguably defamatory statements made by Trump or his campaign.
