How It’s Being Spun: Left

Unlike other events in the Russia probe, this one is set apart by the fact that someone has admitted guilt. For this reason, it makes political bias less prevalent. If any party involved denied what happened, for example if someone pled innocent, then that party’s political proponents and opponents would be more inclined to either support or denounce the truthfulness behind that plea. However, the accused has accepted the accusation.

This has diminished the amount of bias, though as was the case with the Manafort indictment, there is still the occasional exaggeration of the importance of these events.
