We have freedom of the press in the US. It you don't like it move to one of those other countries.

There'll always be InfoWars and the Limbaugh Letter for you.

it's funny how people say the media is only liberal, and you are correct, without the media Donald Trump would have not even gotten he Republican nomination.

Trump has only one person to blame for the negative media about himself......Donald Trump,
Sounds like you not knowing what MSM stands for isn't the only thing you are very well informed about.
Perhaps it's the extreme cold where you live that is preventing the correct information to penetrate?

In 2008, the media was colossally biased but again, many didn't notice because it wasn't trashing their candidate. In 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, etc the media was bias.

Dan Rather...it was bloggers that caused his job loss. A blog that was, at the time, right wing, called 'Little Green Footballs', is the one that brought the lies about the so called letter to the public because the media was totally biased.

(By the way, that was back when bloggers took their craft seriously. Now people throw a blog up on the internet, use click bait titles to get people to read, and they rake in money off of advertising...blogging is not what it used to be.)

Brian whatshisface...Williams and his Iraq war lies...

Seriously, the only time people wake up and see it is when it's their own being dragged through the mud by the lying media. The media in this country has been a propaganda arm for the US government for a long, long, long time. A LONG time.

No one should trust the media. It's why people like Assange are getting all kinds of attention. Assange doesn't write those emails, he simply leaks them. Wikileaks has a 10 year track record of complete truth. Not a single time in 10 years has anything they put out been false.

The people who cry about this, pretending that there is no bias, are utter morons who shouldn't even be allowed to make decisions because they are too stupid, and will undoubtedly bring problems on to other people with their idiotic choices.

It's time that the media gets a serious overhaul. We can start by not paying them millions a year. We can then go in to the schools and start teaching ethics....and while there, maybe they stop telling females to talk like they have a stick shoved up their backside while reporting. Seriously. Listen to reporters on scene, they ALL talk the same way...same nuances, same inflections...God it's annoying.
I recently read a piece about 4 or 5 guys someplace on the other side of the world blogging as if they were conservative Americans. The hits were making them rich.

Why doesn't media remember that? Because it was several years ago. To quote Lady Gaga will the real Donald Trump please stand up?

So even if he was a great person in 1989, we wouldn't be voting for 1989 Trump. The Trump that you would be voting for is 2016 loud mouthed Trump.

I'm way ahead of this.

I get my news mostly from non-MSM sources except of two people on TV.
