In what ways do you think Trump has been treated unfairly? He has, perhaps, faced closer scrutiny of his actions thanks to his position and attitude, but getting caught committing crimes that you otherwise might have gotten away with just because more people are watching you is not "unfair treatment". Entry into politics is wholly voluntary and invites such scrutiny.

  • Overall, we rate Slate, moderately Left Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that favor the left and Mostly Factual for reporting due to proper sourcing but a few failed fact checks.
“High credibility“

Failed fact checks, liberal bias
We all have biases, friend.
What doesn’t change are the facts that are verified, that everyone can agree upon.

Immigration has been rising, this fact is true, now whether this is a good, bad or neutral fact is due to our bias.

Enjoy your biases (as I do mine, even as I (try) to be aware of mine).

Everyone is biased in some way. Does news have to be?

It’s about time something went in his favor

...word is the Trump camp regularly joke about the slow pace of the documents case.

This was the most clear cut case of all the cases against Trump. And by slow walking every single motion that Trump's lawyers make (regardless of their merit), she has made sure this case will never go to trial before the election. Maybe it's inexperience....maybe it's something else....

That is the guy that thinks Jeffery Epstein was brilliant and a good friend, and he helped get him a non-prosecution agreement the first time Epstein was investigated.

It used to be that corporations viewed “ news” as a necessary “service”, (since under the FCC rules, radio (and later television) stations had to renew their license and a factor in getting renewed was if the station provided accurate information in its broadcastings).
Since cable news services aren’t under as tight a control from the FCC, they can shovel out whatever the market will bear, which is quite a lot.

After becoming wealthy a lot of people will “invest” in telecommunications, which they steer to make sure that their own money supply is “safe”.

What we witness as “bias” is competing opinions about how best to move forward with our society, the ol’ “marketplace of ideas”.

Nope. Standard procedure.
This is just one of many lies. Going after a President of the United States via law fare is anything but standard procedure based on 240 years of jurisprudence.

Former presidents taking classified materials, refusing to give them back, and trying to hide them from investigators is also anything but standard procedure. Unprecedented problems require unprecedented solutions.

So, you agree their approach is NOT “standard procedure.”

It's standard procedure when dealing with people who take classified materials they're not authorized to have. If anything, it's lenient - Trump was given multiple opportunities to return the documents he'd taken, but he refused, and instead tried to conceal them. You or I would not have been given those chances in the same situation.

For the service of this particular warrant?
The warrant that was serviced at Biden’s storage facility used the same language, were they “gunning” for Joe?

If you mean that no-one before has had to go to the limits that authorities have had to go to get someone to return classified documentation, then ...yeah.

Standard procedure looks like this:
'Can we have all those documents please?'
'Yeah, of course'.

Well that’s the dispute, isn’t it? His position is that same President, he is the one who decides who is authorized.

You can’t have it both ways; is unprecedented AND standard procedure.

Did the FBI raid Biden’s private resident?
