That was a rhetorical question.
Obviously, some news sources are more biased than others.

Yeah - my wife makes me kinda sick because she just listens to The Today Show in the morning, then watches all the outrage rags through social media. Then she's really stressed out at bad news stories on TV and I have to sit there while she gets all her stress out in the open. FB is the goddamn worst.

I made a new Facebook after leaving for a year. I have I think 30 friends on there and can scroll to the bottom of my feed now. The best thing is no political bs so far! No one I added talks about it or rarely does.
Facebook can be super toxic and is the worst place for any information IMO. I feel your wife’s pain. I was there at one point.

Social media was a mistake. Tom, Zuck, and everyone else on the social space grabbed us all by the balls and are playing tug of war.
And I hear ya. Ms. Diver works in a hospital and all the TVs in the commons play Fox News (except pediatrics - that's basically Baby Shark on a nonstop loop). So when she comes home it's HGTV to act as a buffer (okay) and then MSNBC "to balance Fox's inane rambling" (oh god why).

If I'm not incorrect, Biden even touched Obama inappropriately in front of the entire country.

Honestly, that's more mild than what I expected.

That article didn't surprise me at all. Biden has always had a reputation for being touchy-feely. I've never heard any whispers of sexual misconduct of any type, but he's definitely been known to trample obliviously on norms relating to personal space.

When I first saw that I thought it was photoshop and told myself "Surely they're not
THAT stupid." Serves me right for giving Fox News any credit whatsoever
And in a rare instance of Trump actually doing the right thing,

Wolves on both sides. This is an interesting angle:
"While we were eager to find a solution," Facebook added. "HUD insisted on access to sensitive information — like user data — without adequate safeguards. We're disappointed by today's developments, but we'll continue working with civil rights experts on these issues."
Who wants to bet that FB only refused because HUD didn't wanna pay for it? LOL
