The "Liberal Media" has really been the CONSERVATIVE PRESS all along

NOT the "corporate press" and yes, I know the damn difference.

*Nope*. It's been bent toward conservatives for DECADES now, How did tea baggers reinvent themselves so easily?

How did so much bullshit, SOOOOOO many LIES get repeated ad nauseam about the Clintons *AND* the Obamas?

Holy fuck, "Apprentice" anyone? Don't even get me started on THAT propaganda bullshit.

And now, here's more proof: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/7/1824344/-Matty-Yglesias-at-Vox-TV-News-Loves-Republicans?utm_campaign=trending

you don't get to claim the moral high ground while you're standing on a heap of bullshit, and that's what they're doing.

The conservatives and the media have always been in bed together. The media let's the conservatives call them "liberal" to try and make it look good to get people to believe it. It's a shell game.

In response, the GOP created their own media and bought up everything else. The propaganda has made the standard media irrelevant and powerless.

I subscribe to the NYT. I love much of their reporting, but the "objectivity" on politics drives me insane. In the end, they're on the side of money, power and stability.
