>I'm concerned anytime media outlets have such close ties with politicians and political parties. Fox New included. But to me, one media outlet that leans conservative is way different than the other 5 or 6 major media outlets that run liberal.

And your point is what? 430 individuals is a fraction of the total journalists in the US, and an individual journalist donating to a political candidate != a news outlet supporting a candidate. But you know that, and are again attempting to insinuate something the data you've provided doesn't actually prove, at all. That's ignoring the fact that far more than 4% of the journalists in the US are conservative journalists... so either even the conservatives had no taste for Trump, or the numbers are bogus. If the numbers aren't bogus, it means journalists as a whole universally rejected Trump, and it has absolutely nothing to do with a liberal vs. conservative skew: the conclusion you're trying to draw from thin air.

>Just because they were begging for them, doesn't mean they were entitled to them over every other state. In the end they got over half the federal stockpile. For one state. Those were taken away from allocations that would have gone to other states. Every state was facing ventilator shortages (my wife worked in an ICU at the time in VA and saw the same daily). NY just got more because they screamed the loudest.

So you went from intentionally falsely implying they received 4,400 ventilators to now backpedaling to: they didn't deserve them. Like I said, you are clearly attempting to mislead people with things you know to be untrue while trying to act as though you aren't. It has no place here or anywhere else.
