The MSM sucks

Why are you so stupid?

Of course a House Republican being indicted for obvious AF insider trading 3 months before the election is going to be a bigger story than a Senate being indicted near the middle of his 6 year term.

Menendez wasn’t even found guilty and the Trump Justice Department dropped charges.
 
I expect it from the Daily Caller. Some is earning a living peddling that garbage. But moonz isn’t making a dime off it.
 
Why do they suck? Trump is a media whore who facilitated his rise to power with media attention, and nothing else. So anyone who has ridden those coattails is going to get that media attention, good or bad. Don’t be a puss whack about it
 
The two are not mutually exclusive.

The MSM can suck (it does) and Trump deserve the over-the-top media attention (he does).

for all the bitching, conservatives had a chance to create something better, and they created something far far worse.

If MSNBC and CNN are mainstream media what is Fox News? It is main stream media as well if those two are.
The contention that there is a main stream media bias against all conservative thought completely ignores the power of the the Wall Street Journal, FOX News and all its affiliated media entities, the myriad of weekly publications and online conservative media.
It doesn't make one a liberal, conservative or independent to be concerned about the online foreign government influenced messages in social media and the like. I'd worry about the falsely cloaked foreign government infiltration more than the perceived bias of the so called main stream media. Sarah Palin has ridden the fallacy of the MSM bias into the ground already.
Most importantly, Trump, Bush and Reagan are proof positive that IF their is a MSM and IF it is biased, then the minds of the people are not controlled by such. In the past 35 years how many years has the Congress been liberal versus conservative (Dem v. Rep)? How many state governors are Democrats versus Republicans? How many state legislatures are Republican versus Democratic? If the so called MSM is biased then it is very ineffective and unlikely to become effective any time soon. Seriously, there is a MSM possessing a big powerful influence? Hardly.
The MSM fallacy is all about political victim-hood which helps win support every political season.

Great post
 
Fox loves to tout how it's not MSM while simultaneously bragging about how much higher rated they are than other networks
