One of the stations I checked was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kktv.com\/station\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KKTV Channel 1<\/a>1. They are the local CBS affiliate in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n<p>At the bottom of the page of a story about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kktv.com\/home\/headlines\/Potential-Voters-Turned-Away-at-the-Polls-222808851.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how redistricting was causing some voter confusion<\/a> at the polls in the recall election, KKTV had a set of links entitled <i>More From Our Partners<\/i>. The lead story in this category was about the new voter ID law in North Carolina. It was from &#8220;DGA&#8221;. Following the link I found that DGA stands for the Democratic Governors Association and <a href=\"http:\/\/democraticgovernors.org\/north-carolina-governor-signs-worst-voter-suppression-law-in-the-country\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the article was accusing Gov. Pat McCrory<\/a> of backing &#8220;voter suppresion.&#8221; The link is gone now as they have rotating links. However, you can still see it in the screen cap shown below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/media-Bias.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/media-Bias.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>You have to wonder if this same station would consider the Republican Governors Association as their &#8220;partner&#8221; and include links to its &#8220;news&#8221; stories. Frankly, I don&#8217;t want my local TV station to consider either party as their &#8220;partner&#8221;. I want them to report the news without a slant. At least with KKTV the curtains have been pulled aside a bit and their bias can be seen.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was checking out the Colorado Springs TV stations to see how they were playing the recall election of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2896,2897,2560],"class_list":["post-2042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-colorado-springs","tag-kktv","tag-media-bias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9444,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2042\/revisions\/9444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
