Why doesn't the news networks let the voters decide who's right, wrong, or who will be next President , instead of shoving their candidate of choice down the throats of the American voter?

The media does go after Republican nominees. Trump makes it too damn easy for them.

Why not? You don't have to follow their advice.

Because they're not there to serve the public interest.

I have to admit when I saw the CNN article the other day mentioning Mugabe, Putin and Trump and talking about what they have in common.....I thought wow....they left out Hitler.

The state of the news media in this country is what is truly deplorable. FOX, MSNBC, CNN.....all suck.

It's especially bad when something is a "breaking" story which means they're report any rumor they hear without verification.

You can whose side a network news show is on without sound -- just watch which candidate has the most unflattering pictures splashed across the background. I wonder if they think its subtle, or if they even care?

It all went downhill after Reagan open up the floodgates to the donor class with the media deregulation.

Because the media thinks that "The End Justifies the Means"!

What this means is that they can lie, cheat, steal, murder, rape and pillage... and it is all acceptable because their "belief" will truly serve the benefit of all in the "END". So, who cares if they have to lie and kill a bunch of people... All that matters is that in the end, reality will be as they believe, all will be well, their result will be the utopia they expect and it will be worthy of all the loss they created to achieve it.

Basically, these are the types to which people arm themselves.

Propaganda experts call all of our major news networks "corporate propaganda", and none of our major news networks practice real journalism any more.

And out of all the networks Fox news and Rush radio are the worst, and they actually use multiple propaganda techniques on their viewers. The documentary bellow shows how Fox news manipulates their viewers like a herd of sheep.
