Description

In episode 41 of Bias Breakdown, we examine how media silence shapes public understanding. This week, we look at resurfaced 2022 text messages from Democratic Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones that show him making violent remarks about a political opponent and his family. Right-leaning outlets amplified the story, while many left-leaning networks ignored it, highlighting bias by omission. We also draw parallels to past political scandals and other major stories where the same bias by omission shaped public awareness.
