That only meant sides could have competing "slants".When was news just news with no slant and just straight news with minimal bias?At least you recognize the media as fake with this statement even though you may not realize it.the media always has the last word, and it can pick and chose how it covers Trump, his statements and his deeds.
They can CHOOSE how to report.....
So essentially you admit that they can put any spin on it they like.
Remember when news was just news? No slant, minimal bias....just straight reporting.
Well, it started getting sticky when Ronald Reagan repealed the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.
The FD required that news agencies and journalism provide equal time to a political topic or politician.
So if say "Meet the Press" or a newspaper article interviewed a Republican, then they had to give equal time to a Democrat.
