AP with another turtle-on-a-fencepost article.

Why they think anyone locked down for a month in his own home would give a stuff about these border hopping cretins and what they might or might not catch is beyond me.

Back when I was trying to make a living writing articles, I read every article and book on the subject. They all say to make the subject of the article personal. Give it a name. That’s why every heart wrenching article starts with (Name, brief poignant description) followed by (horrible problem.) The idea is to bring the reader into the story quickly. The reader simply must identify with and support this poor, wretched subject. (Lest the reader clicks away and you lose ad revenue.) Therefore every such article is biased, not towards the subject of the article but to not lose ad revenue. This means that no contravening facts can be brought into the story as the writer immediately loses the reader’s sympathy and attention.

The media is not so much biased towards everything that is anti=American (though they must be to get published) as they are biased towards not losing ad revenue. Factual. balanced articles don’t have nearly the readership, thus revenue, as tabloid trash.
