The old media has repeatedly shown that it puts the "progressive" agenda before profits. The old media is losing money, market share and readership as they lose credibility.

They have been willing to trade credibility for political power for the last twenty years. The question is, will the old media die fast enough to save the republic?

They went all out to elect and re-elect President Obama, and they were successful. I have to admit, though, I do not think they could have done it in 2012 without the assistance of Google, Google's data base of people and their preferences, and the algorithms that Google has developed for influencing low information voters.

It also helped that the establishment GOP foisted a Socialist ringer to face Zero.

Information supportive of Romney and his supporters in the public was systematically suppressed and censored to influence the outcome. Bias is one thing but the media’s role in Obama’s 2012 re-election goes far beyond cultural misunderstanding to the point of not only being in the tank for a candidate but working overtime to help him beat his opponent.

The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.

What the MSM dishes out is more than just bias—it’s AGITPROP. They collude with the DNC, Obama, Reid and Pelosi.

“I think there are a lot of hard-working reporters in NYC and DC who have never fired a gun, or never worked a 9-5 manual labor job, or lived in the middle of the country...”

Lol, the way they make it sound like anything outside of NYC/DC (Mecca/Medina) is another country. Do they have flush potties out there in Dallas?

The only 9-5 manual labor job I ever worked started a 9:00PM
