You don't hear the conservatives bellyaching about talk radio, which completely distorts the truth and leaves many of it's listeners angry about everything, often for no particular reason.

The Democrat Party has become the "Anti-American Party." I suggest you examine your own party before suggesting what's wrong with mine.

The dems and establishment republicans lost the election (they are on the same side).
Solution? Nullify trumps win by attacking him with 24/7 negative press.

I know all of the Mainstream Media is super biased and is essentially a propaganda arm of the Dim Party. From that perspective, they are the enemy to me.

The Obama administration was the least transparent of any in my lifetime. What the hell are you talking about?

Trump has been transparent, and look where it gets him?

The way you fight the media is by bringing home some policy victories. How are op-eds about Trump inhibiting him from passing an infrastructure bill? Why can't he get smart enough to grow some thicker skin and focus on that?
Trump has accomplished more in just under four months than Obama did in eight years. The so-called "mainstream media" just doesn't report on his "policy victories." Apparently you only get your information from MSNBC, and CNN, NBC, ABC and the other Democrat controlled source (Huffington Post? LOL!).

Talk radio is filled with opinion shows that say they are opinion shows. The MSM talking heads are opinion shows that say they are news shows.

I have, although I'm not really a Democrat. And I really don't know if those few fringes of folks rioting are all Democrats, either.

Fine - but what do you say to FOX, Breitbart, Infowars, and other places where people like you get their news? Are those exercising a lot of responsibility?

Fox, Breitbart and Infowars push agendas and aren't journalists. No different than CNN, ABC, MSNBC etc.
