Tendentious • \ten-DENT-chuss\ • adjective – Marked by a tendency in favor of a particular point of view: biased
The roundtable of political hacks spent over an hour discussing how their Democratic or Republican leanings were of no concern when discussing the facts of the last election. If readers, viewers or listeners thought that their comments and bleating support for their chosen candidates showed tendentious tendencies, then it was misinterpreted…because they were speaking the truth. (Note the little t…some pundits believe they speak the truth with a capital T)
