It’s blatantly obvious the media has a coordinated narrative that aligns with the Democratic Party to make Trump look bad so they can regain power. It’s almost futile to have to tell someone this since they’ve obviously decided to bury their head in the sand for their own benefit or just willing to align with a group to follow like sheep and not have to think or reason on their own. It’s been going on for almost 4 years now!

Love your accurate response You can not possibly be serious.
I've been saying sarcastically for years that "if it's on TV it must be true". Sadly many people believe that.

Myghost, hi.. even by their own admission the (so-called) mainstream media is partisan. Poll after poll (directly asking the political affiliation of media members), shows they overwhelmingly self-identify as Democrats.
And if self proclamation isn't enough evidence, just look at all the generous euphemisms the media uses to protect their violent political constituents & allies.. peaceful protestors, gentle giants, anti-racists etc.
Although in fairness to their deceptions, they have recently downgraded violent rioters & arsonists from peaceful protestors to mostly peaceful protestors. You can't make this stuff up..

He says something stupid every day. It just keeps coming. How many Tweets on Sunday? 80? Last month he sent 200+ Tweets on one day. What the heck is a president doing Tweeting nonsense all day long?

You couldn't spin that into something positive no matter how you try.
Have your looked into a mirror?

Trump says incredibly stupid things? More stupid than the Russia collusion?

There is a problem with offering 24/7 coverage. There simply aren't enough news, so they fill the time with discussions and political opinion panels.
You conveniently left out Vox, Mother Jones, Daily Kos, TPM and a long list of other fringe conspriacy sites.

So instead of a substantial reply defending the clear bias of CNN, MSNBC et al, you throw out a sarcastic remark because in your world sarcasm is fact?

They also say the sky is blue and that water is wet. Care to refute those as well while you're denying reality?

Please keep it civil, and help me understand. From my perspective, they've occupied the Whitehouse more in the last 40 years than Dems, and there has been a pretty healthy back and forth of having the majority in both House and Senate.

Is there really a bias? If yes, I'd like to learn more about it, and it will help me to see it illustrated with some facts. Or is it just a "feeling" that both sides get, that they are being held back?

Keep it friendly and informative please. Will just skip over offensive posts or anything that tries to discredit the question with labels like "TDS" or such...

Thanks.
The Entertainment Division of the Democratic Socialistic Party sends a text to the Democratic Socialistic Party's media group's
to ensure a ' Liberal Paradise ' theme is consistent with the writings from the Holy Liberal Handbook.

If your quick with your TV Remote, switch between CNN, MSDNC, NBC, CBS, & ABC during
weekly Prime time line up. I truly believe an almost per bat-em script is in use. The evidence is clear for all except for the blind, deaf and stupid.

Pick a topic, Pick a Conservative political person. Pull up You-Tube and click on the above mentioned
support sources and see for yourself...hint, keep an eye on the date & time of the video
