Bloomberg News recently announced that it would not
investigate its founder, Michael Bloomberg, who has officially entered the 2020
presidential race. The supposedly independent news outlet also stated that it would
not investigate any of the contenders for the 2020 Democratic
nomination, but would, however, continue to aggressively investigate President
Trump.
John
Micklethwait, the outlet’s editor in chief, wrote a memo to staffers in which
he stated: “We will continue our tradition of not investigating Mike (and his
family and foundation) and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the
Democratic primaries. We cannot treat Mike’s Democratic competitors differently
from him.” He added, “For the moment, our P & I team will continue to
investigate the Trump administration.”
Yes, BN
must extend the courtesy of non-investigation to “Mike’s” competitors, but not
to the President of the United States, of course. (Or to Republicans in
general, obviously).
Media
bias? Perish the thought! All media
outlets are as honest as the day is long. (Is that a day in the Northern
Hemisphere in the winter?). I don’t know why so many are skeptical of the news
that is proffered to them. I can’t imagine how President Trump can think there
is such a thing as “fake news.”
The mainstream
media, whether in Europe, Israel, Australia, Canada, or the United States, is largely
composed of people so ideologically—I would say “Ideoillogically”—blinded to truth
and reason that it simply can no longer be trusted to deliver unbiased news. In
most cases, it no longer tries to do so. And now it doesn’t even bother trying
to hide that fact… ironically, often the only fact it doesn’t attempt to obscure.
