When the villain is Obama, not Trump, news suddenly becomes not worth reporting

"So the United States has “the world’s highest rate of children in detention.” Is this worth reporting? Maybe, maybe not. Nevertheless, Agence France-Presse, or AFP, and Reuters did report it, attributing the information to a “United Nations study” on migrant children detained at the US-Mexico border.

Then the two agencies retracted the story. "...

The left is destroying itself. Wait for it. Q4 of 2021. The stars say so.

"Voters are ready to jail or fire senior law enforcement officials who illegally targeted President Trump, but most think they are unlikely to be punished.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey finds that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters consider it likely that senior federal law enforcement officials broke the law in an effort to prevent Trump from winning the presidency."...

Re: the first post, I didn't jump on that article because the numbers were suspiciously high following reporting earlier this year. Good thing they caught it (sloppy of the author to not double-check before submitting for publication), admitted their error, and removed the incorrect info. Why leave false info up to be shared?

So if Reuters reported on the situation in 2015 does that mean we can acknowledge there's no reason to be outraged?

Re: the 2nd post. Horowitz's report found no evidence of political bias in the opening of investigations into people on the Trump campaign, so on what grounds should those agents be fired? Does this mean that pro-Trump agents should also be fired?
‘Shit just got real’: Texts in FISA report show FBI agents with pro-Trump bias

The DOJ inspector general's Russia report did find FBI bias against Hillary Clinton, again
Peter Weber, The Week | December 10, 2019

In Horowitz's previous report on the FBI and the 2016 election, he detailed how FBI and Justice Department leaders were so concerned about anti-Clinton leaks from the FBI's New York field office — former Attorney General Loretta Lynch told Horowitz it was "clear to me that there is a cadre of senior people in New York who have a deep and visceral hatred of Secretary Clinton" — they decided they had to publicly disclose that the FBI was briefly reopening the Clinton email investigation in late October 2016.

Me, I think they should only be fired if they exhibited actions which were partisan in nature and did not follow established protocol. If they simply spouted personal feelings in text messages, but still did their jobs ethically, then I don't care.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I'll ask you the same question HA didn't want to answer. Can we say there is no bias as long as there is no documented or testimonial bias? Is it possible that some people are smart enough not to put their bias in writing or in testimony? Anyone in the FBI with a handful of working brain cells would be smart enough to not even text biased remarks, especially in major investigations that have massive consequences.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
