I think it should be said:
Any group, sufficiently immersed in an ideology can find "bias" in any source that does not agree with their predisposition.
Mule: Not quite. On both sides (no one is innocent) the idea is to toss as much crap as possible and hope some of it sticks. Too many times a front page story that has been discredited, finds the apology on a back page. Your side is just a guilty of distortion as the other, and probably as of late, moreso.
This problem will never be resolved. Both sides claim their "heroes" are telling the truth. One side has a presidential candidate that may have embellished the facts. The other has a successful lawyer so full of hate, I can't completely believe him either. Both sides, to some extent, relying on 35 year old "recalls". Heck, can any of you remember precisely what you were doing just five years ago today?
Then again, I can't totally believe the President or his VP. ALthough not necessarily lies, there have been enough half truths and "flip flops" re: reasons for war and the economy to keep my head shaking.
Sad when we can't trust our leadership to at least some degree.
Just another sign of the deep rift in our society.
