to the extent of sympathizing with an attack on the electoral vote count

The Left thought it was hilarious when Trump's Secret Service moved him to the bunker when violent protesters were threatening to breach the security of the White House. I remember late night jokes, CNN/MSNBC mocking of how big a coward Trump was, etc. It was a great deal of fun and tied in with the lies about how supposedly Trump had peaceful protesters cleared out of Lafayette Park for a photo op. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/06/09/lafa...

"HRC never said she’d be reinstated by August."

Hillary Clinton spent years claiming that the election of Trump was illegitimate.

Has Stacey Abrams even conceded the Georgia gubernatorial election yet?

It's pretty rich for a party that claimed that George W. Bush was the "Commander in thief" and has Congressionally protested all the recent elections gets upset when Republicans did the exact same thing for even better reasons. The 2020 election was ridiculous. Democrats used the excuse of COVID to change election laws in multiple states while mass-mailing millions of ballots. They created an environment that was ripe for corruption and then assumed shocked faces as corruption was alleged.

> the bunker when violent protesters were threatening to breach the security of the White House

Yeah because they didn’t and Trump hilariously lied about the incident. Even they weren’t saying “hang Mike Pence”

> Hillary Clinton spent years claiming that the election of Trump was illegitimate.

She did win the popular vote, while Trump won neither while claiming he did win both….

> They created an environment that was ripe for corruption and then assumed shocked faces as corruption was alleged.

Biden won 81M votes, the most in history. Have fun with the next 4-8 years.

I started writing out all the tit-for-tat responses, then I remembered that this topic is about media narrative bubbles.

I already know all of your claims because I watch broadcast news programs here and there. I see the news reports on Good Morning America when we have it on. I know what the left-wing narratives are.

That's my point. It's the default.

You have to work harder to get something that isn't in that bubble.

You're seeing the point. This isn't a bubble. This is objective reality.

It is definitely a bubble.

The virus lab origin theory is an example of a bubble. It was racist and ridiculous when Trump talked about it, but now it’s basically accepted as the truth now that Biden is president. It’s the clearest example of media bias I’ve seen so far.

Joe Biden himself said we shouldn’t take the china’s word for the origin, the reason why people considered it racist is because of the motte and Bailey of whether it was intentional bioweapon or an accident.
