One sided? Definitely biased....

Why don't you discuss the Democratic leader lies, backed by the mainstream media for the entire time President Trump was in office and still continues? You wonder why people are skeptical of what they read and hear in the news? It's common sense that anyone who can think won't trust what they have been told the past 4 years. Trump was maligned every single day and anything he did that was beneficial, never got covered. There was no fair coverage. But there were absolute lies that were debunked at great cost to "the people" and a big waste of time. The media has been complicit in pushing the lies. So we look elsewhere for what the truth may be. The conservative thought has been censored. Yet you wonder why people are so divided? The media pushes their angle instead of reporting facts and letting people form their own opinions and stimulating discussions. I'm older and remember those days when I could express my thoughts and learned from discussions. It was called "free speech". I haven't felt like I can express my thoughts anymore. I resent being told what to think. And I do doubt this election and its results. The main media should feel shame for creating more and more division. They have the ability to bring people together but that's not what they want to focus on.
You have absolutely no doubts about this election? Or do you just agree with the outcome?
Social media should not be censored. It's dangerous and things will just get worse. Have you ever listened to Rush Limbaugh? Or are you just repeating what you have heard about him? I don't think your podcast tells any truth either.
