Let’s face it, none of us would agree on the fairness of any given media outlet, we all see certain
of them with glaring bias .
It is only my opinion and I am certainly not a member of the media and I am also not a MENSA Member like PM Justin or “Broadcast Babe” but I feel pout of the ABC, CBS, CBC, NBC, MSNBC, Global, BBC, WAPO, NYT, and the rest David Muir seems to make an effort to report the news without any hard line bias .
Of course that does not go for Karl or say Raddatz but just the same ABC World News with David Muir is more or less watchable .
Yes, I know it is not perfect but it does give a quick glimpse into what might be taking place any given day, most of you are intelligent enough to separate the BS from the facts .
BTW – John Karl is despicable but I can ignore that .
Donald Trump could walk across the Potomac from one side to the other without getting his shoe laces wet and the John Karl/Raddatz Headline would read something like this .
“TRUMP CAN’T SWIM” !!!!!!!
If Trump did that Fox would be validated in referring him as the nearest thing there is to God
Muir is great….empathetic, caring and non-political…Lester close behind..
