Agree, check American history:
In Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, Justice Samuel Alito concluded that some inconvenience to voters would not run afoul of the Constitution. His majority opinion also gave states a powerful defense: They could raise concerns about voter fraud to justify their election changes without having to prove any such fraud existed.
In particular, the ruling held that fears of election fraud could justify such rules, even without evidence that any such fraud had occurred in the past or that the new rule would make elections safer.

Even you have to admit that the MSM no longer even pretends to be unbiased.



LOL@Fox News spews more "bias" than CNN, MSNBC, etc.

Long ago, the MSM would do thorough investigations. Now, if it is their side that that is up to no good, they refuse to investigate.

When the current Commander in Chief shows up at a "public rally" that is practically empty, and the "not elected" feller gets Standing Room Only crowds, you tend to be skeptical about the "landslide" approval of the Vegetable in Chief - ahem - Bidet.

Oh, gimme a break. Enough already

I kept close watch on the aftermath of the 2020 election. Anyone who was paying attention instead of plugging their ears and saying "Lalala I can't hear you." would have learned about all the irregularities in the swing states.

2000 Mules was "fictional"? Seriously? So, none of what was portrayed was real? Actors were hired? Prove that it was all a fabrication. You just can't do it, can you?

So you do not consider Fox on leased airwaves tv to be MSM?

This whining about liberal media goes back to the civil war days. It was a big thing when i was mixed up with the JBS. Now they are running the place.

IMO, newspaper owners have always had a POV. That's why they have editorials and opinion pages. And anybody who wants to can start their own anytime they wish. These days they have the internet. So many do.

That's part of the reason for the divide. We don't all have the same source, thus POV. Just like most of us do not have the same religious background and all know the same hymns.
Of course, newspapers have opinion pieces and editorials.

For example, we used to subscribe to WaPo and knew they were left leaning. However, they still covered the news.

It was in the 90s, when WaPo once again had local competition. While at work at the local library, I would look at what the competition was covering, then make a note to look at WaPo's take on the same story. More and more, I was noticing that WaPo wasn't covering those same stories. When the internet came around, it became glaringly obvious that the MSM was an arm of the DNC. CNN used to be a decent source of news, then they, like WaPo and the NYT, for example, were in the DNC's pocket,

We've long since stopped subscribing to WaPo. After a while, we just couldn't take it anymore.

MSM may never have been ‘fair & impartial’ although Alex Jones masquerading as the new Uncle Walter is completely ridiculous.

I've never watched Alex Jones. Who says he's the "new Uncle Walter"?

Where is your ironclad proof that there were no irregularities in the 2020 election? You have none. The MSM tells you it's "the big lie" and you lapped it up.

Alex Jones’ evidence-free conspiracy theories are analogous to the evidence-free conspiracy theories of Mr. Trump & his allies promulgated to overturn the 2020 election results.

I don't have to prove anything. 2000 Mules was so fictional it could have qualified for an Oscar if it had not been so bad. The entire cell phone tracking piece was utterly wrong, and not meaningful. And, any venture that True the Vote participates in is a complete fraud, that organization has zero credibility. Two of the leaders just spent a week in Federal detention for not complying with a judge's orders.
