mastodonmigration , 4 days ago to random Ok, Biden had a bad debate, but let's talk about a much much bigger problem. The media seems to have decided that it is ok to be a shameless, obvious and deliberate liar in order to win a debate. This is the same thing as referees determining that obvious, deliberate cheating is ok to win a game. Sporting contests don't work if the refs permit cheating, and democratic politics doesn't work if the media permits rank dishonesty. The media is failing our democracy.
