Hubs and I were discussing this. When and why do you think the media hopped in bed with the left?

They didn't.

Think about it.

Yup - Simple right wing fables as the media was not reporting what they wish. On the fringe there may well have been some media off into the left wing morass. But the main media simply went for truth which the right cannot stand.

It seems like truth to you, because it aligns with your ideology.

Nonsense. I am a life long engineer/physicist. I believe almost nothing as gospel. So I mostly have no ideology to align with. I have no use for either the far left or far right. Simply lacking intellectual skills.

It's about who owns/controls them.

These "news anchors" or whatever they are these days who deliver the messages to us are paid millions to say and spin information in whatever way they are being paid to do so. That's whether they themselves really believe what they are telling us or not. The left leaning viewpoint is the agenda and narrative being pushed the strongest for - reasons. It serves the best interests and the agenda of the owners.

Hey, I would do it for a multi-million salary and a cushy job as well. Wouldn't you?

Media has been left wing for some time now. But then again so are corporate board rooms, ceos, academia, local school boards, Hollywood, big tech, the courts. They truly have the balance of power and the wealth. Come to think of it, they are the system that is supposedly racist. Hmmm, makes you think perhaps they are the racists.

Wrong
Study after study has shown the vast majority of media is liberal and biased left.
Much of the MSM is married to or a relative of democrat politicians or leaders.

“ Media Bias: Ask journalists, and they'll likely tell you they play things right down the middle. They strive to be "fair." They're "centrists." Sorry, not true. The profound leftward ideological bias of the Big Media is the main reason why America now seems saturated with "fake news." Journalists, besotted with their own ideology, are no longer able to recognize their own bias.”
...” Despite journalists' denials, it's now pretty much a fact that journalism is one of the most left-wing of all professions. ”
