You can deny it all you want, but the purpose of attacking the media is to control what they want you to think and limit your knowledge.
And for you guys who buy into it, they've done a masterful job.
Fox pushes the same agenda and has for a long time. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/22/mainstream-media-deliver-most-outlandish-and-hyperbolic-reactions-to-trump-since-election-night.html is a good example. There are dozens of others.
And no, Trump is not the central gov't. But attacking the media who criticize him is dangerous. Hell, I want the media including Fox to scrutinize every President we have, regardless of which party they belong to, It's healthy to do so. I just wish they would all be fair about it, but clearly not all are. But just as clearly, not all media is biased, and promoting that agenda is dangerous to our freedom.
Liberals are accused of hating this country by those here. But it seems they at least care about freedom of the press and understand the importance of keeping it that way and understand that is the only way to insure our survival as a country.
Do you really think only hearing one side of the political viewpoint would be a good thing?
Gerald, people have been writing about liberal bias in the media since the late 60's or early 70's. Edith Efron wrote a book in '71 called "The News Twisters".
Rush Limbaugh has been talking about it for the last 30 years.
