Couple that with derisive facial expressions and raised eyebrows and eye rolling...it does manage to communicate disdain and derision. That is a fact. Although half of the country is right of center, we are subjected to the opinion of the Television News and National News Channels that almost all are very biased and left leaning.

They don't lie. They use descriptors that are demeaning and critical and unkind. They will say he "scoffed at" instead of he was "critical of" . There are so many examples, over and over every day from all of the even responsible news sources that would make my excellent high school journalism teacher wet her socks.

Those who think the way the writers write don't see it or feel it or find issue with it. I do. Every damned day.
When do you believe all the things you critique began ?

Been around politics pretty much my entire adult life....it’s new to me.
