So the media bias becomes more and more apparent. One such case is the incident with the Olympic swimmer, Ryan Lochte. He and several other American swimmers were hijacked at gun point in Brazil. For some reason a Brazilian judge didn't believe their story. ( I guess he thinks it makes his crime ridden country ever worse?) I won't go into that here, there is enough info out there if you want to look it up. The (anti)American media has jumped on this story with both feet. It seems they don't want to miss a chance to bash/jump on the (ugly) Americans that are the Olympic team we sent down there. No thought that there are 2 sides to every story, and innocent until proven guilty is still a thing. Let's just hammer away at every perceived flaw in the story that the Brazilians claim there is. Isn't it strange they saw no flaw before the Brazilian judge pointed out his views?
Whether their story is true or not, isn't my point. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, or is somewhere in between. It just seems they are portraying this in a way to make the Americans look suspect or untruthful and they tried to escape before the Brazilians could get their righteous hands on them.
I ask you this, did any of this type coverage occur with hildabeast's email/server scandal? Did they cast doubt on her veracity at any time during that coverage like they have with the swimmers? Of course not. We all KNOW just how horrible our young people that represent us at the games are, and how pristine the reputation of the clinton family is. Why would any one think any different?
I am not trying to defend any actions by our athletes that may be wrong or unlawful. But I would like to see the same zealous coverage of the left side of the aisle in at least an equal measure. Especially with something that is more serious than whether swimmer got mugged or not? But we know that ain't ever going to happen.
Ask yourself this question: What do the swimmers have to gain by claiming they got mugged when it didn't happen? I can't fathom a guess. Why is this such a big deal to the press as opposed to our national security? Yeah, I do know why on this last one.
