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.

Read the full letter from Google here.

https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/google-admits-censorship-under-biden-promises-end-bans-youtube-accounts

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.

At the supposed summit when lawmakers met with Obama to discuss OCare, Paul Ryan disarticulated the act in less than ten minutes.  Obama said something like, "Thanks, Paul, we'll take a look at that."   ::)

Statistics show mainstream media's coverage of Trump was negative 98% of the time.

WaPO ran an article saying his impeachment process starts now 27 minutes after inauguration.

Unprecedented.

And the sheep fell for it.

Could this be because 98% of the time Trump is up to no good?

WTF. The Fake News media has dedicated practically ZERO airtime to reporting on Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones, who fantasized about k*lling a Republican and his children. 

The fake news media is the enemy of the American people.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! New data confirms that media stations are giving *ZERO* seconds in coverage to Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones saying he wants to shoot Republican officials and their children, and urinate on their graves.

ABC: 0 seconds
CBS: 0 seconds
PBS: 0 seconds
NBC: Only 63 seconds

This is a mainstream Democrat, running for a major elected state office.

They are complicit in political violence.

Virginia, DO NOT vote for Jay Jones; vote for Trump-endorsed Jason Miyares.

No.

He would not have been elected again.

This is unprecedented.

The NYT, WaPO, and mainstream TV stations have lost all credibility.

Quote
Trust in the mainstream media in the United States has reached historic lows, with recent data showing that a significant majority of Americans express little to no confidence in the press. According to a Gallup poll released in October 2025, only 28% of Americans have a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in newspapers, television, and radio to report the news fully, accurately, and fairly—marking the lowest level in the poll’s 50-year history and the first time trust has fallen below 30%.
 This continues a downward trend from 31% in 2024 and 40% five years prior.

The erosion of trust is evident across all major political groups, though it is most pronounced among Republicans, whose confidence in the media dropped to a record low of 8% in 2025.
 Independents also show largely skeptical views, while even Democrats, who have traditionally expressed higher trust, now only register a slim majority with confidence in the media.

It's ok though, liberals like Prime, Lurker and Negrosis trust the media and as long as they can control those types of feeble minds, they'll stick around to control the narrative.

The media want you to believe ICE is randomly dragging teachers out of classrooms. Here’s what really happened.

This is not to say this woman's situation doesn't suck, but to show how the mainstream just needs to be ignored at this point.

Another example how folks are manipulated to hate Trump:


Quote
BBC expected to apologize after using doctored footage of Trump’s Jan. 6 speech in documentary: report

So apparently for a documentary, the BBC strung lines of a speech together that were 54 minutes apart to make it sound like it was continuous.

So someone like Van, or any foreign funk types would watch an see Trump saying this:

Quote
Prescott noted that the network aired footage of Trump appearing to tell rally-goers: “We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell you’re not gonna have a country any more.”

But what he actually said was this:

Quote
Trump’s actual remarks were: “We’re gonna walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re gonna walk down, we’re gonna walk down any one of you but I think right here, we’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and we’re gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressman and women.”

The BBC edited out the president saying, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

The media sucks and people need to wake up

Since when have you got your news from the BBC? Quelle surprise! The media is a broad term. Does The New York Post, which is also part of the media suck? Does this mean that I stop following it? Which, if any media do you recommend as being trustworthy? What about social media where most of what is posted on it is opinion and not supported with facts.

I don't get my news from the BBC.  But many overseas do.  So when they blatantly misrepresent our President to the global community, it's a huge problem.  Do you not see that?

I do not believe the NYPost sucks.  I have yet to see them post blatant lies.  In fact their editorial board frequently calls out the current admin when they disagree.  I do read the Post mostly for NY Sports, however.

As for social media, you have to follow links, read, research, etc.......or just be like funk and pass it along whether it's correct or not.

This is what I follow in addition to the post (taken from another thread):

I'm plenty critical of Trump, and I don't like everything he does or says. I've just consistently said there's more fake news around him, and he's been attacked more than any politician I've ever seen (literally and figuratively).

And, as I've said from the get-go, I knew after Oct 7 that this was the final straw for Israel, and I knew the end results were going to be catastrophic and horrific.  I said they'd even go into Qatar without permission, many disagreed, but it happened.  They will not stop.

And I have no doubt Trump wants this to end, but the world stage is complicated.

But if you want independent sources I read or will listen to:

Michael Shellenberger
Matt Taibbi
Glenn Greenwald
PBD Podcast
Dave Smith
Shawn Ryan
Coleman Hughes
Joe Rogan (occasionally, depending on guest)
Ben Shapiro
Tim Dillon
Mike Benz

On twitter, other than the above, @vigilantfox, @TheChiefNerd, @ColionNoir, @BretWeinstein, @martyrmade, @zubymusic, to name a few

And, on Israel, some of these guys disagree with each other vehemently.  Smith / Hughes just did a debate, if you're interested.


Those are where I feel I can get a fair shake, as sources are given, and I can cross reference if something seems shady or off.

What I cannot trust: CNN / MSNBC / WaPO / NYT / ABC / NBC / HuffPo / The Atlantic / Time etc.....and there's more.   I'm not alone, as polls have shown confidence in the national media is at an all time low.  And it's all their fault.
