Then why be so complacent? I want things to be better so I voice my opinions. Should I just shut up because you're cool with status quo?

Republican politicians are very different from republican voters, same for democratic voters and politicians.

Non-partisan also includes political bias. Anti-abortion is a right wing talking point exclusively. Claiming immigrants are all criminals is not a left wing talking point or policy that voters support.

You'd be surprised, especially for centrists curious about each side and have peer pressure from their right wing friends. Does make me wonder how many centrists lie to their friends about the politicians they vote for.

I agree but that's not what's happening here, the partisan spin is that the democratic policy points are being twisted into clear partisan tactics. "
For example, Democrats aren't focused on the border issue beyond providing a better and humanitarian response (though failing horribly) and this fact is being spun as democrats inviting crime and drugs to take over the country.
A non-partisan way of saying this should be, Republicans are in favor of tight border security and restrictions on chain migration, Democrats are in favor of a better response to immigrants through more relaxed laws.
The statements don't claim a guaranteed end result and that's what makes it non-partisan.

When it's purposely deceitful in a way to trick people into reasonable credibility. Politics (certain forms) and news coverage is already known to be classified as entertainment but this falls under a source claiming to be credible and a fair representation of each side which is purposely looking to deceive and confuse voters ahead of an election. Not everyone is as able and willing to find credible information on their candidate like internet veterans.

The website goes on to say that immigrants are bringing drugs, sex, and lawlessness to the country through open borders.
The owner had an interview with Newsmax praising him, that doesn't sound non-partisan.

Anyone have any ideas how to report this? This is clearly deceiving voters because the guide they receive is NOT an accurate portrayal of policies every candidate is for. In the video the link points you to, they talk about trans rights as boys taking over girls sports as a "leftist" policy.

My exact point, hosting him is a clear endorsement, churches are places of worship and not movie theaters, the movie was not a reenactment of religious texts either (to my knowledge).

We'll see if this actually happens though come tax season. A church in Central PA hosted a movie about Doug Mastriano since it got dropped by another movie theater for too much negative press. It was massive too like thousands of people from all over the state.
That would certainly be an example but they'll just argue religious freedom since the overlap of politics and religion is deep and hard to fight IMO

....and other jokes we tell people. Seriously though, nothing will happen to a church especially if it's in a majority conservative place. We can't expect conservative cities, counties, and state supreme court's to actually have integrity.

Where someone lives should not give them more or less power than another fellow citizen.

Even so, PA has more Democrats than Republicans by total but yet Republicans are like 66 percent (or more) of the state legislature and electorals. How tf does that make sense? End the electoral college because land does not vote, small state votes should not be worth more than mine.

That brings up my concern with Spotlight PA branding themselves as non-partisan. So far their coverage does seem to be balanced (in the sense that no side deserves protection from coverage of corruption).
