"Another way in which news media bias manifests itself is in the choice of what stories to emphasize, and what stories to bury. Oftentimes, the MSM will take upon itself a censorship role that it would decry in any other entity, private or public, if they were to do the same thing. Some stories — typically those that can be spun to make conservatives, Christians, Republicans, patriots, and other crimethinkers look bad, or which would serve to advance some element of the leftist agenda — will receive wall-to-wall, nonstop coverage for weeks on end. Other stories, ones which would do the opposite, get spiked like a rail timber, barely or never to see the light of day. The point is that the MSM sets itself up to act as a filter, sifting out or passing through (in modified form) depending on whether "the people" should be allowed to know about the story or not."
