What took you so long to see the light?
1. I like to see what the leftists are thinking.
2. I like to watch them for entertainment value.
3. I don't need the right wing media to reinforce what I already know.

Again, I don't disagree, but it's the press we are talking about. It's the very soul of our democracy.

Yeah, those darned reporters.......reporting exactly what they see and not cleaning it up to make Trump look better ! Trumpees would love to see only good things reported, but the fact is, Trump does so many bonehead acts that the news people have no choice but to comment on them.

Anyone who thinks that the things Trump does are normal has rocks in their heads. The news people simply call it as they see it.

How is this collusion acceptable? Shouldn't our media remain free, fair and unbiased?

I know some of the leftists will say what about Foxnews. Well, I believe we should hold them all to the same standard. Let's also keep in mind that Foxnews is in the distant minority here. The next example some leftists come up with would be Alex Jones which is a nut job.

Sorry to break it to you, but all the MSM threads in the world won't stop Mueller's investigation into Trump's collusion.

I watched ABC last night to see what they would say about the Georgia election. They top three or so stories came and went, and then they had about 10 seconds about it. Right down the memory hole. As if it never happened.

The CNN/Clinton relationship was proven last year when CNN tipped her off on "a" debate question. They admitted to it, but only the one that had been revealed. But it's like cockroaches: there's never only one.

85% of the coverage of Trump was NEGATIVE.
Studies have been done linking amount of coverage to how well they do in the polls. Rather or not the coverage is positive or negative, as it turns out, is relatively minor factor.

The article has graphs that explain it reasonably well.

But only providing negative coverage is being honest, fair and ethical?

Also, besides Alex Jones, can you name a non-nutjob type mainstream media not biased towards the left besides Foxnews?
I meant to say individual shows on Fox get more views. Though, in 2016, Fox was the most watched network overall.

Fox News Is Most-Watched Cable Network of 2016

Of course, at individual points, other networks may be getting more views.

As far as non-left media sources, yes. I can. A number of local newspapers, such as the Boston Herald and Des Moines Register, are right of center in bias. And that does matter. Local news is incredibly important and is in the mainstream in those areas. As far as big names, Forbes, Wall Street Journal, New York Post, RT News, Associated Press, C-SPAN, Gallup, Pew Research, Politifact, Reuters, and The Economist. All within the range of mainstream (this based on how well known they are and their relationship with larger media outlets, i.e. the NYT would likely use a source like C-SPAN or Pew Research and link to that page) and typically are either not very biased at all or a center right biased. And if we're being honest, certain sources that we often consider outside the realm of mainstream, like Breitbart and TheBlaze, probably have a popularity level that is approaching that of mainstream. Nearly everyone knows about them.

Are you actually physically incapable of making an honest argument?

No where have I claimed CNN is honest, fair, and ethical.

Your parents should really be very ashamed that they raised someone who is this dishonest about everything.
