The warm comfort of a supportive press.

A great example of journalistic biasing in Ann Althouse's post, "At the 66-acre site, groups of beige trailers encircle a giant white dining tent, a soccer field and a basketball court."

The original reporting is in the Washington Post about a Biden era illegal alien retention camp.  The language is complimentary and supportive.  The alternative version is from one of Althouse's commenters, offering an example of how the same story would have been written of the same facility if it under a Trump administration.

Impossible to prove as it is a hypothetical but also ringing pretty loudly of truth.
