Reporters call for more bias against Republicans

 Fox News:

Reporters from several outlets supported calls to end "both-siderism" in media with even harsher treatment of Republicans after another columnist decried covering Democrats too critically.

Los Angeles Times columnist Jackie Calmes published an opinion piece titled "Why journalists are failing the public with ‘both-siderism’ in political coverage." Calmes, a New York Times reporter before joining the Los Angeles Times, called out "journalistic pressure" to produce seemingly balanced stories that prevents journalists from reporting what she referred to as "the new truth."

She targeted journalists who "focus critically on President Biden and Democrats" as opposed to "Republicans’ obstructions."

"To the extent, then, that journalists and pundits focus critically on President Biden and Democrats and give short shrift to Republicans' obstructions -- as if the cancer of Trumpism was in remission, if not cured -- that indeed distorts reality and disserves readers, listeners and viewers," Calmes wrote.

Calmes repeatedly criticized Republicans, warning that "democracy is literally at stake" surrounding the GOP’s recent election laws.

This is why it is a mistake to trust liberal media at all.  They cast a jaundiced eye on Republicans trying to save democracy from the evils of liberalism.  It is beyond weird to see people who backed the Russian collusion hoax and several ridiculous impeachment efforts act like they are trying to "save democracy."  It was not Donald Trump who did those things but Democrats and liberals in the media.
