Funny how discerning "bias" has become a more important criterion for evaluating media
than factual accountability of the reporting itself.
That gets me wondering if and how that habit of separating political judgement from
factual accountability plays out in people's evaluation of Trump and the criminal indictments'
against him.
How is it that people doubt the very public documentary and visual evidence so far presented
of Trump's criminal behavior and self-justification for it,
but embrace the idea that criminal charges against him are trumped up, so there must be some
conspiracy to keep him from running for office because of "timing" and other indirect,
impressionistic, cobbled together BS?
