Media critic (usually the right-wing, but sometimes a lefty) accuses media of bias because if Y had happened, the media would have been "all over it", whereas they barely mentioned X. First of all, they did report X! That's how we know it happened and it's why we're discussing it. Second, Y hasn't happened yet - so you can hardly blame them for not reporting it!

First of all, they did report X! That’s how we know it happened and it’s why we’re discussing it. Second, Y hasn’t happened yet – so you can hardly blame them for not reporting it!

Clint, Please don’t take this personally. It’s just that has become something of a pet peave of mine – I really don’t mean it to be a personal attack.
