Trump shouldn't be publicly pressuring Bondi to do anything.  Still, that doesn't make the headline any less biased.  They are trying to manipulate public opinion instead of just reporting the news.

This does not mean to excuse my mistake about the difference in time between our earlier posts, but it occurs to me that if our posts had been an hour apart, would that not have provided you with some leeway or an excuse? Since I easily found many mainstream headlines and media posts around six minutes late your post from sources many see as leaning left, would not at least some of them been available to you as well? If that is so, why did you not acknowledge that the headlines' biases were mixed?

What could be interesting to check is when the headlines I posted on Getbig first broke. Not that I am going to bother doing this because they have probably been updated by now. But think about it, what if all those headlines regardless of bias preceded our posts? What would that suggest? What it says to me is what we seek, so shall we find. Human nature has us look for and hopefully find validation of what we already believe.  :)

Why would I go searching for unbiased headlines when a biased headline lands in my inbox?  That makes no sense.

I actually gave you some unbiased headlines, so of course not all headlines are biased.  That's not the point.  The point is that the media often uses biased headlines.  They do this to manipulate public opinion (like I mentioned earlier).

Well, Youtube and Google admit to censorship during the Biden era:


Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political SpeechSeptember 23, 2025
Press Release
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, thanks to the oversight of Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google commits to offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections an opportunity to return to the platform.

Quote
Google also admitted the following to the House Judiciary Committee:
The Biden Administration pressured Google to censor Americans and remove content that did not violate YouTube's policies.
The Biden Administration censorship pressure was "unacceptable and wrong."
Public debate should never come at the expense of relying "authorities."
The company will never use third-party "fact-checkers."
Europe's censorship laws target American companies and threaten American speech, including the removal of "lawful content."
These major admissions come after Chairman Jordan's subpoena to Google and a years long investigation into the company.

Everything I've been saying.

Not big on whataboutism, but if the Trump admin did this, the fats would be rioting accross the country, and this would be front page headline news.
