    The reporting is not the same because the way the situation is being handled is not the same.
    You can't have it both ways, you cant on one hand say that Biden is opening the borders and allowing migrants in, and on the other hand say that Biden is acting the same way as trump and should be reported as such.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    You are assuming that klondick places some sort of value on logical argument.

    Yes, of course, a logical argument is available: If there is a different "freedom of speech", then it is a different reporting...
    Does any of you know a more logical argument?

    BTW, wondering why was organized yesterday the congressional hearing with the Big Ones who control the propaganda for the trusting population?

    However, as usually, what's the outcome? Just a theater comedy for the population: How the congressmen can grill the Big Guys? Who is in charge of who?

    If you do not know, try again to think about it, just using a "Farmer's Understanding (Brain)", as the Germans call it "Bauernverstand"...
    (The Greeks, they surely have something similar, don't they?)

    I do not know about "drain bramage", but problems with a brain happen anytime and anywhere, one reads about that every day (mainly not on MSM)...

    I do not know what is a "puny Greek brain".

    Actually, quite a long time I had spent my days in Greece, then I had quite appreciated the cooperation with Greek colleagues, also socializing with them...

    But your original problem was that you did not understand the "different reporting" I mentioned. Few days ago an esteemed judge wrote something about that, his language is surely better to understand than mine:




    Federal Judge Laurence Silberman slams media, accusing it of left-wing bias
    March 19, 2021

    A federal appeals judge accused the media of being a “trumpet” for the Democratic Party in a scathing dissenting opinion handed down Friday.

    Washington, DC, Senior Circuit Judge Laurence Silberman, 85, called on his fellow judges to overturn a Supreme Court landmark decision protecting the press, complaining that conservatives are oppressed by liberal outlets, academia and tech companies that combine to create “a frighteningly orthodox media culture.”

    The judge was countering his colleagues’ decision to toss a libel suit filed by two former Liberian officials against human rights group Global Witness.

    The ex-officials had sued over a report by a human rights group called Global Witness that they said implied they had accepted bribes from an oil company.

    Silberman complained in his lone, dissenting opinion about the 1964 New York Times v. Sullivan decision requiring libel plaintiffs prove “actual malice,” and called on the Supreme Court to revisit the landmark ruling.

    The Reagan appointee said increasing the power of the media is “so dangerous,” “because we are very close to one-party control of these institutions.”

    “Two of the three most influential papers (at least historically), The New York Times and The Washington Post, are virtually Democratic Party broadsheets,” Silberman claimed.

    He also griped that the news section of The Wall Street Journal and most television outlets also skew to the left.

    Silberman said a “one-party control of the press” poses a threat to a “viable democracy.”

    He cited Fox News, The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal opinion and editorial pages as one of the “few notable exceptions to Democratic Party ideological control.”

    He'd have to be capable of logical argument prior to being able to place a value on it.

    Federal Judge Laurence Silberman slams media, accusing it of left-wing bias
    pu·ny
    /ˈpyo͞onē/

    small and weak


    Just because a conservative Judge had a problem with progressive reporting, it does not make it so, and it is hardly news.
    No doubt media in the US is biased towed the base they serve. But that's true for all all media, much more so for right wing media.
    So if Federal Judge Laurence Silberman is concerned with fairness in reporting , where is his criticism of the right wing media?
    One can't compare the bias of the right wing media to the lest wing media, they are miles apart.
    So how does that apply to the subject at hand? which is President Biden and your allegation that Biden is reported differently, the insinuation being that he is just as bad as trump was.
    These are two different issues. The progressive's media can be biased toward progressive's issues and since Biden is progressive , toward him. And Biden can be not as bad a trump.

    When progressive media reported the death of children in the river as a fault of trump. it was because trump's policies forced them on the river so he was a contributory factor, if children died in the river now (and I don't believe any did) it is not because of Biden's policies, and to report so would be false.

    Agreed. The old fool has been consumed by right wing propaganda.

    Thankfully he will likely expire and a Biden appointment will replace him.

    Do you mean to replace all who do not agree with him?

    As a matter of fact, that's what he writes:

    “one-party control of the press” poses a threat to a “viable democracy.”

    Biden Administration Boosts Wind And Solar Ambitions Ahead Of Infrastructure Push

    The U.S. currently has 42 megawatts of offshore wind online. The Biden administration just set a goal of deploying 30,000 megawatts by 2030.

    The Biden administration on Monday also established a new priority wind area in New York Bight, the waters between Long Island and the New Jersey coast, and advanced permitting for the proposed 1,100-megawatt Ocean Wind project off the coast of southern New Jersey. And it announced up to $3 billion in loan opportunities for the offshore wind industry, $230 million in available funds to update port infrastructure to support offshore wind development, as well new investments in wind research and development projects.

    I didn’t see anything about nuclear or hydrogen in the article.
    Go figure
    Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

    Biden needs to start holding rallies and get a worship squad going like Trump had with Graham and Cruz. Or... Maybe not.....
