Nightly Business Report spins Zuckerberg Hearing

Mark Zuckerberg must have phoned in a nice donation during the last PBS fund drive. That's the only explanation I have for how NBR spun the hearings in favor of MZ, Facebook, and the GOP. It was not just bad but laughably bad. Fox News and Sinclair Broadcasting would have blushed to put such an obvious spin on it.

I knew something was up when the segment starts with Maxine Waters adjusting her dentures. What the hell? Why show that? Then they showed a couple of out of context questions from Democrats to make it look like whining. Moving on to the only Republican they show saying something like, don't we need to stay on the cutting edge of technology? Of course everyone agrees with that.

Oh well, judge for yourself. Maybe I'm just too sensitive to the media bending over backwards to normalize these clowns...
