The media is both sidering cheato and Biden's labor record

It's a joke. They are both trying to help workers, they just have a different way of doing it, cheato is concerned about evs and job loss, yada yada.

The truth has a liberal bias. Only one side has a proven record of supporting labor. It's easy to find on the Google. Why can't they just say it?

I think most of us know why.

That's why they don't show the facts. They talk about cheato "wanting" to show support for workers as if it's the same thing as Joe's proven record.

Is accusations of impartiality. They'll tie themselves into ridiculous knots and construct the most foolish of equivalencies in order to try to avoid them. Then conservatives accuse them of it anyway. It's just incredibly stupid. Tell the truth and tell conservatives to fuck right off if they don't like it.

Just look at DU as an example. Users post mainstream media articles and opinion pieces, and the community sorts out the truth
