I for one find it completely hilarious and feel it's about time the conservative camp that I am aligned with is basically saying stop pandering to the garbage wing- it will not move the party forward.
I have NEVER claimed that FOX does NOT biased to the right.

"Hell half of Fox news is now running Trumps campaign!"

Then the other half are NOT.

I have seen MANY a FOX TV "personality" NOT say good things about Trump.

FOX is ONE TV channel that is to the "right"

The REST of the TV channels lean "LEFT" or so far left they should be pai d by the DNC, maybe they are.

If you don't see the sneers on faces of the likes of Andrea Mitchell every time they mention Donald Trump, your bat blind.

Most of the media WANTS widespread apathy. They are not in it for the money/profit (as amazing as that sounds). They certainly aren't in it to educate people or inform them....that's a ludicrous suggestion. No, they are true believers.....ideological warriors. Political beasts. So if people actually cared enough to research things a little, or pay attention, that would be bad and would interfere with the propaganda.
So the lame stream media fervently hopes for continued apathy. It makes their job easy.
(Almost of this is directed towards the leftist media, which is to say 75% of the media. The others aren't as bad).

Anyone who voted for Obama or Romney in 2012 are voters who are guided by false beliefs and they are far from rational.

Our founding, based on property rights, has similarities to things in the Bible.

The mainstream media is not completely disconnected from mainstream societal views; YOU increasingly are. Conservatives have become such an extremist fringe cult that NO mainstream organization can possibly represent your views anymore.

Hence why you see an increasing separation between "normal people" news outlets and the flat-out crazy fringie conspiracy blogs you people feed off of. You've become so extreme that by now basic facts and data are a "liberal bias" to you.

So what the hell do you expect? Obviously, any sane media is going to look to you like a biased source in relative comparison to you, because the normal media does not traffic in unhinged conspiracy theories.

The problem is not the rest of us; it's you.
The media is not there to "represent" any views. They are there to report ALL the facts. Period.

The media at the moment does NOT report all the facts. They report positives for a certain candidate, and ignore the negative. They report negatives for the other candidate, and ignore any positive. That's not "news" that's biased reporting.

Non believers aren't guided by false beliefs. LOL, So in other words athiests/agnostic believe in nothing and are not guided by a moralistic code in life? HMMM.
Atheists and agnostics were brought up to believe in something. Everyone believes in something? What it is , is irrelevant. Just because someone doesn't believe in the same thing you do, because we all believe deep down in something, doesn't mean we are stupid. And remember, its Faith, that we have. And Faith is important to us..
But unlike some snide arse little children, we dont hammer it in to you to believe in our faith..

Liberals believe if a media source agrees with them the source ain't biased.
