How did the mainstream media become so liberal and when did this happen?

Plus take a look at various media reporters college credentials. I researched a few in my area and they seemed to all have a degree in rhetoric. Many also have a political science degree from left leaning Universities.

So it's no wonder we have the media circus of today. They are no longer in the business of reporting the news, but creating the news, and creating it to coincide with their liberal, democrat progressive left leaning agenda.

Sorry, but most international outlets aren't much more conservative...at least not ones based in developed countries.

Some of those media sources are notoriously biased, but when you consider practically everything "so liberal", are you sure you're not the extreme one?

These organizations by and large present news articles and opinion pieces from a liberal point of view. They are critical of Republican politicians and conservative political philosophy in general, whereas Democrats usually get a pass from them. They are especially anti-Trump.

So, do you think there were a series of events that caused this to happen? Was it the Vietnam War or maybe Watergate? When was the mainstream media more balanced?

You really think there's some global conspiracy to have competing liberal voices all parroting the same talking points and the sole voice of honesty is the media that caters to the least informed, most insular population?
