Yes, this Breitbart article has links to these many instances of media bias. These are useful to ask our Lib family members about. We can point out very specifically that the Lib media is NOT telling them the whole story.

The media isn’t in it to report news. It’s in business to promote a leftist agenda.

Let’s keep in mind that the MSM beat us in 2018 with these tactics. They may beat us again in 2020 if we don’t do a better job of countering this.

Who is this “us”? You and your pets?

Fewer and fewer people believe the Fake Media. They are digging their own grave with their lies.

Unless you wanted the House to turn blue in 2018, then us.

Fewer and fewer people believe the Fake Media.

We have a President who is bringing manufacturing back, and the country voted against him in 2018. Whether it was because the voters were too lazy to look into the facts, so selfish that they fell for the Dems entitlement ideology, or all of the above, the MSM conned America into voting for Democrats in spite of what President Trump has done for them.

They are digging their own grave with their lies.

I hope you're right, but 2018 leaves me with doubts.
