Also, as has been pointed out to me, this was about a second, lesser known, call from Trump. This was not made clear, at all, in The Hill's article. What I do think is being minimized is quoting someone incorrectly. I think it is immensely important to not quote someone unless their words, verbatim, can be verified.
Oh I agree. I am not Lib, Con, Dem, Rep. I see a topic and have my thoughts on it. There is hardly a politician on either side I care for. Trump, Pence..........blah except for some major policies I agree with and Biden, Harris........blah and I know of no policy I agree with, although I am sure there are some. Re-joined Paris Climate Accord, closed Keystone XL pipeline, anti-gun, pro abortion, pro illegals, pro open boarders, pro getting rid of filibuster, pro stacking SCOTUS. No thanks to those policies/ideas.
CNN, FOX, MSNBC and everyone in between seem to have an agenda nowadays to report straight up lies or half truths and I don't really trust any of them.
As far as I can see, journalism is now about who can report the most BS and get away with it to hurt the other side.
