great to be here. thanks for having me. the gun control debate, the background check legislation that went down in the senate, you see that as a classic example of media bias, media rooting for certain outcomes. is that fair? i mean, i think it s a little more complicated than that. i think it s a situation where the press likes to feel like they re in the vanguard of history on certain issues, right? those are usually social issues and issues like gun control, gay marriage and so on. i think those are the places where, you know, a lot of people in the press walk a very fine line between sort of trying to report neutrally, but also trying to, you know, be on the winning side and on social issues i think they tend to fall off that tight rope a little bit. to the point of unfairness sometimes? yes, to the point of unfairness quite a bit. ok, for example, senators joe manchin and pat toomey, democrat and republican were kind of depicted as heroes for coming together with this
