As I was skimming Drudge headlines a link caught my eye. The article, from something called the International Policy Digest, was talking about the rise of a conservative politician in France. You did not need to read far to notice loaded terms like “far right” and “controversial past.” What got my attention was the third paragraph.
“None of this changes the fact that her political agenda remains subversive. She calls for an end to the EU and has adopted policies critical of the French allies, backing Putin’s annexation of Crimea. She also wants to raise wages and pensions, restore the retirement age to 60, as well as establish border controls and reinstate the death penalty.”Notice the interesting definition of “subversive.” It is subversive to call for an end for the EU and to criticize French policy.
I guess if you are from the left this makes sense but to me it is called freedom of speech and freedom of expression.
This is editorial rather than reporting. Welcome to media bias.

I doubt if we'll ever see true reporting again in our lifetime.
