Show Notes
In episode 44 of Bias Breakdown, we examine how media outlets spun President Trump’s meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping into a competition rather than straightforward diplomatic coverage. Left-leaning outlets framed Xi as having the advantage, while right-leaning media praised Trump’s performance as a major success. The episode breaks down how these contrasting narratives reveal a broader pattern of media spin — mixing sensationalism, slant, and word choice bias — that extends beyond this meeting and into coverage of other world leader summits.
