It may seem like a bold statement to make, but I believe it without question now because of the Trump Administration.
In fact, the me I watched FOX News, the more I realized that the actual coverage was different if it negatively impacted the Democrats. FOX News might devote an hour or so to the controversy but CBS and CNN were only devoting a minute or two... if that.
Today, as I was driving down to a doctor's appointment, I was listening to a TALK RADIO station out of Knoxville, and one of the callers shared an experience he had endured while attending an Ethics in Journalism class at the University of Tennessee. While he was in this class one day, the professor played a tape between Walter Cronkite and President Johnson and the President was telling Cronkite how he should SPIN the news on the Vietnam War.... so that the public was only receiving a portion of the truth not the whole truth because it would look bad on President Johnson and the Democrats.
Back in the mid 1990's, I was interviewed by a journalist and when the article appeared, the so-called journalist had twisted my comments to make it look like I had said something altogether different from what I actually had said.
The recent fiasco in Georgia is another example of how journalists who are the handmaidens of the Democratic Party are going to SPIN the news in such a way that it again conforms to the Democratic Narrative which is not even close to the TRUTH...
