It seems like the media has a running bet with just six days until the election to see which outlet can out-ratio the other.
After President Biden's comments yesterday during which he called Trump supporters "garbage" the Dems and the Harris campaign immediately shifted into damage control mode. It must be comforting for the Democrats to know that when it comes to helping spin this, the media has their back. CBS News has a two-fer in this post about what Biden said -- or "appears" to have said:
Republicans seized on comments made by President Biden appearing to refer to Trump supporters as "garbage." https://t.co/j59zOmNx22

Republicans are "seizing" again! And CBS News wasn't about to just admit what Biden said without helping run cover with "appearing to refer."
What is the word "appearing" in that headline? It's on video. It happened.

"Appearing?!"

It's literally on video you absolute hacks. pic.twitter.com/a1pyHIGkEi
For some reason we're guessing that if Trump called all Harris supporters "garbage" the CBS News spin would have been just a little different.
“Seized”

“Appearing to”
CBS News seized on the opportunity to white knight for the democrats despite inappropriate rhetoric from the president.
There!
Why do they keep saying “appearing”. It’s on tape. https://t.co/7Sv6AARyIn

CBS News knows what their job is, and actual journalism and reporting isn't it.
