I'm done with your biased reporting
I have reached my limit on your slanted, manipulated presentation of the news. Practically daily I find some biased or untruthful comment from you, the latest - and last - being today. Subtle manipulation of the facts by you and other media outlets is disgusting. All I ask is a truthful presentation of facts - I believe it’s called unbiased reporting. Following are your version of the Business Insider article, the President’s tweet, and then the actual article (as far as I can tell, I am only copying what was posted online):

“President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday, calling the national movement for racial justice “a symbol of hate” in a series of tweets.”
President’s tweet:
“NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue. This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the horrible BLM chant, “Pigs In A Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon”. Maybe our GREAT Police, who have been neutralized and scorned by a mayor who hates & disrespects them, won’t let this symbol of hate be affixed to New York’s greatest street. Spend this money fighting crime instead!“
Business Insider’s site:
“President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the Black Lives Matter movement on Wednesday, calling a planned mural of the national movement for racial justice’s name ‘a symbol of hate’ in a series of tweets.”
The President called the national movement for racial justice a symbol of hate? Not according to the article you misquoted. That article says he called the mural a symbol of hate. Quite a difference!! And quite intentional, I‘m sure, judging from recent history. I have read your news feed daily for many years, but I can take it no longer. Your job is to present the news, not alter it. I am done with you. Oh, and by the way, I wouldn’t be surprised if Eliza Relman is very upset to be misquoted in such a feeble, transparent attempt to incite racial disharmony.
