Apparently, attacking the government and killing people is what it takes to get the media to care, as there have been plenty of segments about Donald Trump endorsing a coup participating insurrectionist in Pennsylvania.

Five white guys carry a Trump sign down any street and reporters flock, but hundreds of thousands of people protest the theft of rights from a majority of the population, and the story is deemed to be the fourth most important event of a Saturday.

Bias is not visible in words, but also in actions.

As PoliticusUSA’s Sarah Jones put it:

Today: PEACEFUL FUCKING PROTESTS over our very liberty being stolen

1/6: an act of domestic terrorism over something that didn’t actually happen

Stop treating women like we are armed insurrectionist while you coddle the MAGA terrorists.
