No, because neither side should be presented.Here's the news: Biden was inaugurated in 2021. . .here's the official vote count from the 2020 election. . .here is the variety of reactions we have become aware of, without our implying one is better than the other. Unfortunately, that's not good for ratings or filling in 24/7 news time, but everything after that is propaganda and/or entertainment. How is a news reporter supposed to know for sure that the 2020 election was either legitimate or illegitimate? Did they personally monitor the counting process? Similarly, I don't see how a single news agency could ever be in a position to confirm any of the other examples you mention. Not that your assertions are false, but the media doesn't have a monopoly on the truth and shouldn't pretend it does. That's why YT and similar platforms have become better for news than legacy media outlets. They're not obligated to fill 24 hours of screen time or answer to extremely powerful corporations. You can (if you dare) move quickly between opposing viewpoints or search for your own "most unbiased" source and get a broader sense of what people are saying about an issue and make your own decisions. |
