I actually have found an individual interesting/surprising counterpoint example. Based on the [P&E thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apathy-over-trumps-power-grab/948028) about the apathy over the Donoghue revelation, I decided to see how the right wing was spinning it (if they were even mentioning it at all). So I went to Fox news did a search on Donoghue and found this article. > **[Trump told DOJ officials in December 2020 to call election 'corrupt,' notes show](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-doj-officials-election-corrupt-donoghue-notes)** > > Former President Trump instructed top officials at the Department of Justice to call the 2020 general election “corrupt” in support of his efforts to overturn the election. Which, surprisingly, actually seems to be a fairly straight forward description of what went down. But I steeled myself and dove into the belly of the beast by reading the comments section, where all the die hard MAGAts hang out. Only to discover that it was almost entirely populated by people calling out Trump for corruption. I had to check the URL several times just to make sure that I hadn’t accidentally stumbled onto CNN or the Washington Post. This is of course just one counter example of journalism out of a cavalcade of evidence of bias, but it was at least somewhat refreshing. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-fox-news-really-all-that-bad/636625)._
