I honestly cannot understand that bias. This is the greatest country in the world and MSM wants it to fail.
They are so arrogant that they believe they can repair any damage - after they're back in power.
The MSM knows that the U.S. must be destroyed in order for their dream vision of socialism (read: gradle to grave central planning) and wealth redistribution (primarily **all** of the Wealth of the West sent to Africa) to have a chance of success.
Because as long as the U.S. stands, capitalism, democracy, republics, and the free choice of the individual will triumph.
To destroy the U.S., the MSM *wants* WMDs to proliferate. They *want* the nuclear family to disintegrate. They want every pillar of strength in the U.S. to be destroyed (e.g. religion, Boy Scouts, marriage, monogamy, real art, traditional food, internal combustion engine, etc.).
The MSM *wants* euthanasia, abortion, and gay sex because these things are all destabilizing to long term societal survival (if practiced in large enough numbers).
The MSM wants criminals freed and the death penalty abolished for the same reason: it further destabilizes society.
The MSM wants public transportation to replace private vehicles for similar reasons (e.g. the death of individual freedom of movement).
The MSM wants higher taxes to discourage capitalism as well as to redistribute wealth. The MSM wants to nationalize health care in order to limit individual choice.
This is why the MSM is gleeful when destabilizing classified information is leaked (e.g. Pentagon Papers, Abu Ghraib, terrorist prisons, NSA spying, etc.) on the one hand, yet the MSM feigns "outrage" when classified information such as "outing" Valerie Plame is made public.
It is all consistent with the MSM's overall goals of killing individual choice (gun control, anyone) while redistributing all, repeat, all of the Wealth of the West.
