Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
Saying that the claim by Dan Bongino is ‘mostly false’ for missing context is misleading. A better rating would be ‘mixed’ because, although he didn’t outline how he would discriminate (as in ‘be selective’), the implication was certainly there.
This is his quote:
“Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian and Native American-owned small businesses, women-owned businesses”
Even in context Biden did not say that the economic stimulus would be prioritized to small business who were the most impacted by Covid 19, which just so happen to be minority owned and women owned business. He said that those business would be prioritized by listing those traits, which does in fact imply that those business owners without those traits would be de-prioritized no matter how impacted by Covid they were.
Whether or not this is what he meant, we will have to see when the rules are drafted. However ‘mostly false’ and ‘missing context’ are two completely separate things.
