Here at Twitchy just one of the many things we like to cover and shine a bright light on is media bias, and sometimes certain outlets do much of the work themselves by making it so incredibly obvious.
Consider yesterday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election.
The Democrat, Susan Crawford, was backed by billionaires like J.D. Pritzker along with George Soros and others:
Now, the radicals are trying to make Musk an issue in the Supreme Court race. They don’t want voters to see that billionaires George Soros, J.B. Pritzker, & Rex Hoffman are pouring millions into liberal Susan Crawford. According to the @journalsentinel , 77% are from outside WI.…

With that in mind, here's how ABC News framed a story about this particular election:

"Democratic-backed Susan Crawford will win over GOP- and Elon Musk-backed Brad Schimel." One of those things is not like the other.
The Democrats made it clear their preferred narrative is that Crawford and the majority of Wisconsin voters "defeated the billionaire," and ABC News was happy to help push that spin in a not-so-subtle fashion.

Crawford isn’t described as Soros-backed or Pritzker-backed. I wonder why https://t.co/mlVqj1rrJ0

Clearly somebody at ABC received the talking points memo from DNC headquarters. Or perhaps by now they just know instinctively how to "report" these kinds of stories, all while wondering why the public's trust in media has gone completely down the toilet.
