Y’know, assault is generally defined as causing a person to fear for their safety. What these cops were doing was absolutely assault, bumping into someone’s shoulder is not. Plus it kinda looks like a football play the aide, Freeland and the cop were playing.

      Doesn’t matter either, that article itself wasn’t showing any signs. Unless he thinks it wasn’t newsworthy, which definitely would show someone’s got a bias.

        So there is a thing you can do, publish some non biased articles, then start publishing more and more radical stuff and try to use the neutral as a buffer.

        “Yeah , I am saying some crazy hateful shit, but look at my other articles, you can totally trust me and anyone saying different is just trying to discredit me.”

          That was not an article, it was just a list of overreactions by right-wing personalities.
