When wasn't the press totally biased? FDR was elected 4 times as President but the press refused to take any photos of him in his wheelchair because the media feared it would make him lose votes if the public knew the truth. Over the decades only a couple of photos leaked out and even those were only seen after FDR died. How is that a free unfettered press?

The only people saying that are Republicans. Doesnt make it untrue, but it does raise questions about why its such a partisan issue. Its not established fact, despite what many here in the comment believe. Until it is, this is purely conjecture, and its unwise to be grasping at straws. I agree that transparency is a good thing, but just because the state is being cautious about information release doesnt automatically mean there is a conspiracy going on.

OK, so maybe the whole country doesn't see Fox viewers as inbred, uneducated, white trash loosers, but Fox sure does. Here's Tucker Carlson's producer Alex Pfeiffer on the big lie, and the stresses of manipulating his audience: “Our viewers believe it, so addressing how Powell's stupid Venezuela affidavit isn’t proof might insult them. This whole thing is so surreal. Like negotiating with terrorists, but especially dumb ones. Cousin fucking types.” So, tell us... How do you feel about him referring to you as "especially dumb cousin-fucking terrorists"? Sounds to me like he knows his audience. This Dominion suit is a real eye opener. These texts and e-mails prove what I have believed all along - that Fox laughs at your ignorance behind your backs. All the way to the bank!

I have seen what communism will do to stay in or get in power. Anything! Chinese killed 30+ million of their own for power less than a century ago. It was a crazy conspiracy theory that FBI smoked Kennedy and now we know it is true. It was a conspiracy theory that kina virus was manmade but now we know it is true. MSM/Big Tech working overtime to censor/ban. This was intentionally released to fk up US election and for the Chinese to get protesters of Hong Kong streets because if Hong Kong goes so do commies in China.
