I googled "manafort" News, which generated 20,900,000 hits. They included sources such as USA Today, ABC News, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, Politico, etc.
But nothing from FOX News.
Then, I googled "terror training camp in new mexico" News, which generated only 41,500 hits. This time, the only mainstream media site represented was FOX News; all the others were what could be considered fringe, right-wing media.
I can understand (though even here I have concerns about) two different media outlets covering the same story, but putting a different spin on it. Kind of like how the Boston Herald covered the 1986 World Series vs. how the New York Daily News covered it.
But this goes way beyond this: it appears certain media outlets are choosing not to cover certain stories at all.
Does anyone else find this highly disturbing? And more importantly, does anyone see any hope for change going forward? I'm a "when in doubt, predict that the trend will continue" kind of guy, so I'm skeptical, as painful as that is to admit.
