The bias is against electoral manipulation and fake news. Hence the "hacked" materials removal.

> The policy on “hacked” materials is a good example that was selectively applied only against one side.

On the side that pushes fake news, yes. That's a good bias to have.

There were plenty of situations in which the information was clearly gained illegally (or totally made up), but since it made Trump look bad, it was allowed. His tax returns, for example.

As I said, if you think one side is somehow unbiased and just, you aren’t paying attention.
