    In this formulation, -10 reflects maximal left-wing bias and +10 reflects maximal right-wing bias. On average, right-wing media is much more biased (+9) than the mainstream media (-3). In fact, the average mainstream media story has only a slight hint of left-wing bias, and many mainstream media stories have no bias at all or even have a modest right-wing bias. However, the mainstream media is also much larger than the right-wing media, which aims only for the MAGAiest 25 or 30 percent of the country. That’s the asymmetry. The US has a large mainstream media that on average has a modest left-wing bias — but with some stories that are very biased and others that aren’t biased at all — and a smaller (though still formidable) right-wing media which is flagrantly biased.

    Among the most amusing video clips I have seen recently was Jack Smith’s first announcement of his indictment of Trump. “We have one set of laws in this country,” Smith said, face straight as a meter stick, “and they apply to everyone.” I’m not sure when I have laughed so hard.

    Hunter Biden was unavailable for comment. So was his dear old Dad, “the Big Guy.” So, for that matter, was Sam Bankman-Fried, swindler and mega donor to the Democrats, who just saw a campaign finance violation against him dropped because, like Hunter, he is a member of a protected class. Did I mention that Bankman-Fried was the number 2 top donor (after George Soros) to the Dems, having contributed some $70 million to its coffers over 18 months?
