No. There is nothing hidden here. "There is a larger issue here, which is why I use the word corrupt to describe this propaganda, the issue of hidden biases."
I think almost everyone in America knows Michael Moore's movies are biased and I think almost everyone knows that Sinclaire is biased. The biases of both have been well reported by legitimate media.
The arguement that either of these 2 is tricking the public is a red herring. The power of both these "documentaries" is that they excite and mobilize current supporters rather than persuade new ones. Of course its in the interest of both parties to spin the issue as though the opponent is duping someone.
Hidden bias is a serious concern in the media, but these are obvious, overt biases.
