Biden

Often times news is distorted not by direct reporting but by not reporting. David Ignatius, reporter for the Washington Post, was a frequent guest on Morning Joe until last September when he wrote a column suggesting that Biden not run for a second term. This was nine months before last week's debate. MSNBC did not like the column so they shut Ignatius down. This idea of taking away the voices of people with whom you disagree is becoming far to common. If you don't agree then present your side of the argument. Steve Rattner was a long time economist on Morning Joe until he came out against the war in Ukraine and he disappeared. It is this type of bias that caused people to lose faith in the media. Why couldn't the network just present their argument in favor of the war and let the viewers decide. Maybe they feel the viewer are not capable of coming to a sensible conclusion.
