"Blockbuster"

Just when you think media bias could not possibly become any worse, the Democrats' trained hamsters exceed expectations. The "blockbuster" news that 12 "right-wing" (anarchist?) fanatics hatched a failed plot to attack Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan has been reported with a combination of "we told you so" glee and breathless gravitas. It's worth noting that the plot failed completely, involved no one but a bunch of nameless crazies, and was interdicted early by the authorities. Of course, Whitmer blamed it all on Trump, and the media trumpeted her vacuous comments.

Contemporaneous blockbuster news and revelations about another plot, hatched and executed at the highest levels of government and known by the Obama-Biden administration goes largely unreported. That plot was on-going for almost two years, was purposely stonewalled by the FBI, and was denied by all of its lying participants until their own words indicted them. With every document release and congressional hearing, it gets worse. The soft coup attempt again the Trump campaign in 2016 and his presidency throughout 2017 and 2018 is the political scandal of the century. Unless you're the mainstream media. Then ... crickets.

UPDATE:

It was a small story, really. Someone erected a 10-foot high "Hollywood"-like "Trump" sign on private property in the hills above the 405 in LA. 

It was amusing and a clear example of protected political speech. But not to the very woke state of CA. The state entered the private property within 24 hours and removed the sign because "it was distraction for drivers." I wonder whether CA also removed every other billboard that might be a "distraction" along the 405.

The leftist iron fist has already begun to appear (e.g., shadow bannings on social media, cancelling celebrities who espouse opposing views, corporate woke behavior). One can only wonder how it will evolve should Biden win the presidency.
