@cobratbq Its true, at least in this climate specifically... everyone feels if something is important they are duty bound to be biased in the extreme. Not always in ways that are blatant lies.. but more like "Im going to provide you all the legtimate evidence that supports my opinion and conveniently leave out any of the counter-points". It is most often lies of omission, but they are very damning to the credibility of a source.

Take vaccines, I think we all know vaccines are good and safe overall, and that anti-vaxers were on the rise and concerning... Me being in the COVID field saw daily people overexagerating or lying in both directions out of fear trying to counter the anti-vaxx rhetoric... but with such an unbalanced presentation I think they did more harm to create anti-vaxxers than to push back.
