Just wanting to hear reasons, and maybe a little insight as to why/how it has inhibited the Republican Party.

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.

Good grief. You cannot possibly be serious.

Do you watch TV or read newspapers? If yes, then you already know.

The real question is why do Democrats claim the media is biased.

Take a closer look (if it's possible, given your own bias) at the captions and photos chosen by Yahoo, Bing, and msn -- obviously directed at the young, the impressionable, and those not familiar with the workings of realpolitik; the facts speak for themselves.

Most of the Media has been hijacked by Far Left Radical Marxists. They are even having very left Progressives fired like at the New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and others. You just can't be Liberal anymore you have to be radically "Woke" which is just another term for Communist.

Another glaring example is Comcast. They openly support, fund raise and finance Joe Biden yet own NBC and MSNBC. Do you think those media outlets are biased towards Biden and against Trump? That's just one example.

It’s a “shoot the messenger” mentality. If the news is not favorable to your side, well it must be fake or slanted. Can’t possibly be that your side is actually wrong.

Just put it on Fox News, if you think, if you think the cable news media is biased against Trump and Republicans.

I mean a quick scroll through MSN top stories should be enough of an illustration...
