Out Of His Mind: Outspoken Gun-Control Advocate David Hogg Sounds OFF On Media Bias

Gun-control advocate David Hogg caused a stir on Wednesday with his claim that the media has a "right-wing bias."

Hogg took to Twitter to express his frustration, stating, "If Biden did what Mitch did today, the media would be covering non-stop for the next two weeks. But because it's a Republican, it's like nothing ever happened. The right-wing bias of corporate media is nuts."

Hogg's comments were in reference to an unusual incident involving Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. During a speech, McConnell abruptly stopped speaking and stood silently at a podium. The incident left many puzzled, including BlazeTV host Dave Rubin, who responded to Hogg's tweet by saying, "Seek help."

Hogg's tweet drew a range of reactions, with actress Rosanne Barr calling it a "democrat post in history" and criticizing Hogg's lack of awareness and double standards. Others, like Ned Ryun, simply stated, "It takes real talent to be this dumb."

While Hogg's claim about media bias may have raised eyebrows, he also made another controversial statement about the media's treatment of former President Donald Trump. Hogg tweeted, "I know Trump always says the media is against him, but the irony is they aren't. They actually desperately need a disaster of a president like him to boost their ratings."

This claim sparked a debate about media coverage, with leftist media figure Mehdi Hasan suggesting that the left should have a "propaganda arm" to target Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Hasan argued that the messaging imbalance in the country allows the GOP to get away with so much. Aaron Rupar, in response, highlighted the frequency of Hunter Biden's mentions on Fox News, further fueling the discussion.

Hogg's statements and the ensuing reactions highlight the ongoing debate surrounding media bias and the role of the media in shaping public opinion.

While some agree with Hogg's claims, others argue that media bias exists on both sides of the political spectrum. As the conversation continues, it remains important to critically analyze media coverage and seek diverse perspectives to form a well-rounded understanding of the issues at hand.
