Bias Reporting Parading as Neutral

Some of the worst kind of “journalism”. They seem to try and be neutral but careful listening to word choice as well as what facts and information get excluded from reporting paint a different picture.
Up your game and maybe I’ll come back but I am over bias reporting.
