Most legitimate newspapers print their bias and endorsements on the editorial page. But, sure, throw the baby out with the bath water, toss the 1st Amendment into the scrap heap of history - - there are people who’ve made it clear that’s exactly what they’d like to do. And they’re off to a good start. Or a bad start, depending on your bias.
Then, although there might have been one or two main reasons you didn’t like the Star Bulletin, after they’re gone you probably won’t miss the other information they formerly published, like local news or sports. In fact, that’s an excellent example, I’m glad I brought it up. What I want to know is, why does the Star Bulletin always show bias and favoritism toward the UH Warriors anyway? What gives? That’s not my favorite college team (sorry), and the UH football team doesn’t have a chance to reach the BCS College Football Championship Playoffs, so what’s the point? It may even be an indication the Star Bulletin is wrong about everything else, right? Because, winning. It’s the only thing.
Stand up for a free press, even when they show some insignificant preference or favoritism. They are nowhere close to what some call them, “the enemy of the people.”
“What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening.” - President Donald J. Trump, 7/25/18
POTUS described FAKE NEWS, not a Free Press as “the enemy of the people.”
This phrase would more (much) accurately read:
"Even though they are overwelmingly and constantly biased in every way, manner and matter of import"
