A reporter asked the governor about the hypocrisy of his stance against gender-identity and access to gender-affirming care when he chooses to present himself as taller than he is.
Why does someone talking about journalistic bias get downvoted? This isn’t reddit, you dorks shouldn’t be this reactionary to everything that doesn’t immediately confirm your own bias.
In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a failed 2024 presidential candidate, flanked by representatives from the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-government extremist group Moms for Liberty, including co-founder Tina Descovich, attempted to defend the state’s restrictive educational policies.
In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, the state’s Governor Ron DeSantis spoke in favor of the state’s educational policies which some groups call “over restrictive”.
Which is more biased? The first paragraph is true, but is obviously trying to paint DeSantis more negatively.
Leaving out details is also bias. Especially when those details are pertinent to the subject being reported on.
That he was talking about state policies could arguably be said to warrant including politics based details of the situation.
Him being a failed presidential candidate and attending said event with a representatives of an anti-government extremist group would probably qualify for that.
The difference between:
Man speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota’s
vs
Man known for previously running on a platform of meat-quota deregulation. speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota’s, surrounded by meat industry lobbyists.
Yes, the second one sounds more negative, but that’s not necessarily bias.
The article speaks as though DeSantis is a person, which obviously implicitly platforms the idea that the self exists as a distinct entity. This is not a universally recognised truth; Buddhism and some other Asian religions do not recognise it. The article is biased and refuses to address the cultural assumptions put into its writing.
Yes, this fact means that everything you’ve ever read is biased. This is because it’s true, everything is biased. Everything is culturally relative. Reality is a social construct and every piece of journalism which claims the existence of reality is biased.
Not the dude you are asking. I really hate attempting to defend any of the MAGA crowd or even approaching an “enlightened centrist” take.
But, I absolutely can’t stand that slimy hateful fuck and imo I thought the article was oversensationalized compared to what I saw in the video. It didn’t seem like “the whole room laughed”, it didn’t seem like it really threw Desantis off. I didn’t notice a “nervous head bobble.”
It’s just a clickbaity “Desantis gets DESTROYED” article
I do not disagree with the simple fact that DeSantis is a bigot. I, however, dislike the clear bias demonstrated by this media outlet.

I don’t mind people exercising their right to an opinion.
In this forum in particular I would except everyone to be united in their absolute contempt for that monster.
That’s not the issue, he’s talking about the credibility of the source.
What part of this article has a bias? Just browsing but I don’t immediately get it

DeSantis has been trying to outlaw wearing clothes that don’t “match” your sex while routinely wearing high heels. It’s reasonable to ask about this.
Can you give an example of the bias you’re referring to in the article?
