None, really, in this particular example. But you’re making


a larger, more comprehensive point, which is that all news is news and which news one watches is just a matter of their interests. But there is plenty of false and misleading “news” out there - literal fiction - and it definitely skews to the right more so than the left. JMHoo links it here every day. Perpetuating the Big Lie isn’t news, for example, no matter one’s level of interest in it. Michael Flynn’s latest fear mongering nonsense that “Covid was created by ‘global elites’ who are already plotting their next virus” is news only in the sense that he said something ridiculous. The claim itself is total fiction, not news. As Stephen Colbert has told us, “Facts have a well known liberal bias.”
