And people wonder why it's said that the liberal media is corrupt?

Not double standards, just alternative facts.

I guess it's whatever buzz word or phrase makes a person happy.... I call it all of the above, plus obvious bias.... Of course, those that got certain 'marching orders' (there's another catch phrase for ya) will almost always refuse to see it or blindly follow.... (The smarter ones, who know what it is, will refuse to see; the predominant less-smart ones will just blindly follow along with what they are instructed to believe).... Gainsaying is another tool used, when people are confronted with something that is plainly self-evident.

Here's the simplest example of 'alternative facts': " the glass is half-empty" versus "the glass is half-full"..... Both are factually correct, but one conveys negativity, the other conveys positivity..... Complicated examples of 'alternative facts' can confuse or mislead the listener/reader/viewer..... It's much like 'lying with statistics' (a really good easy book to read is 'How To Lie With Statistics').... Example: A boss says "I'm going to lower salaries by 50%, but only for 1 month; after 1 month I will then increase salaries by 50%". That may sound like a return to the same pay, but it's not (if you were getting $100/day, and reduce it 50%, it's $50/day; increasing $50/day by %50 only raises it to $75/day)

And, btw, if you like your alternative facts, you can keep your alternative facts... The political 'media' arm wants people to focus only on the catch phrases, and buzz-words, so they don't know what's really going on.....
