The media needs to be held to a higher standard or it is only going to deepen the already massive divide in that country. Their job is supposed to be reporting what is going on in the world around them, not trying to control or suppress it. I really hope the Biden administration restores the FCC fairness doctrine in some form or another, even if it won’t eliminate the biases of the major news networks at least they’ll only be able to report facts.

Sorry, but that guy was being openly disrespectful to someone doing their job. He doesn't have to be that rude, but I don't blame him for not giving that guy the time of day. Respect should be earned, and if you start a conversation with a statement like that, there's no respect earned to begin a dialogue.
