I've been seeing the alt media sphere promoting this the last few days. Perhaps one of you fine folks with more patience than me can pore over this and post the most disgraceful media malfeasance.

The press versus the president, part one
INTRODUCTION: ‘I REALIZED EARLY ON I HAD TWO JOBS’
The end of the long inquiry into whether Donald Trump was colluding with Russia came in July 2019, when Robert Mueller III, the special counsel, took seven, sometimes painful, hours to essentially say no.
“Holy shite, Bob Mueller is not going to do it,” is how Dean Baquet, then the executive editor of the New York Times, described the moment his paper’s readers realized Mueller was not going to pursue Trump’s ouster.
Baquet, speaking to his colleagues in a town hall meeting soon after the testimony concluded, acknowledged the Times had been caught “a little tiny bit flat-footed” by the outcome of Mueller’s investigation.
That would prove to be more than an understatement. But neither Baquet nor his successor, nor any of the paper’s reporters, would offer anything like a postmortem of the paper’s Trump-Russia saga, unlike the examination the Times did of its coverage before the Iraq War.

Is this where journalism tries to ask for amnesty and forgiveness like the covidians are doing?

I also sought interviews, often unsuccessfully, with scores of journalists—print, broadcast, and online—hoping they would cooperate with the same scrutiny they applied to Trump. And I pored through countless official documents, court records, books, and articles, a daunting task given that, over Mueller’s tenure, there were more than half a million news stories concerning Trump and Russia or Mueller.
Now class, lets compare and contrast this to the total # of actual investigative media stories attributed to the Hunter laptop / Biden family business ventures.
P.S.- the down vote shows the true level of denial to a board leftist.

They don't want to make the same mistakes they did with the Trump dossier, see? They are learning from their mistakes, see?

no. LINK Wapo. Newsrooms that move beyond ‘objectivity’ can build trust
quote:
But increasingly, reporters, editors and media critics argue that the concept of journalistic objectivity is a distortion of reality. They point out that the standard was dictated over decades by male editors in predominantly White newsrooms and reinforced their own view of the world. They believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading “bothsidesism” in covering stories about race, the treatment of women, LGBTQ+ rights, income inequality, climate change and many other subjects. And, in today’s diversifying newsrooms, they feel it negates many of their own identities, life experiences and cultural contexts, keeping them from pursuing truth in their work.

What we found has convinced us that truth-seeking news media must move beyond whatever “objectivity” once meant to produce more trustworthy news. We interviewed more than 75 news leaders, journalists and other experts in mainstream print, broadcast and digital news media, many of whom also advocate such a change.

The truth will always be the truth, no matter how these biased liars try to justify distorting it.
Sometimes it is with you, sometimes not but if you do the right thing far more often than not it will be.
These people must be ousted. From academia and from the profession of journalist.Money still and always will talk. Stop buying products from their sponsors and do not watch their channels or read their publications and it will have an effect.
Do NOT donate, nor send your children to be indoctrinated. Demand that your state institutions be gotten back under local control. Step up and stop talking, start doing.
