    Can you show me where I have said otherwise?
    I was responding to the comment in general. It jumped out of your post rather dramatically, since I have pretty consistently experienced extreme political bias from you. You went so far as to suggest your voting would always be based on party affiliation.

    However, I cannot say that bias was evident in this particular discussion, AFAICT.

    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

      I've stated that I believe the victim unless given very good reasons not to.

          I'm now not sure whether to believe you about that, or not. Mind. Blown.

            They got little more than one day's coverage by the networks who then immediately moved on. At this point there has been very little investigation -- certainly not even 0.01% of what we saw concerning Ford's allegation against Kavanaugh (and that number might be too high).

              Do you not understand that they reason they got little coverage was because they were investigated and found to not hold water?

                  Look at the coverage that Benghazi and "buttery males" got. The MSM covers tons of things in depth which are politically inconvenient for Democrats.

                    Which mostly took place in 2014, how often was in mentioned in 2016?

                      "Buttery males" was all anyone talked about in 2016. What are you on about?

                      Here's a search for "benghazi 2016 news" and you can find plenty of hits.

                        • It's reporting what the Republicans found in their own report!

                          What about "buttery males"? Was that silently buried in 2016?
