Once upon a time, there were journalists who simply asked questions and reported facts.

When was that?

The twelfth of never. The NYT for example has been beating up on republicans since 1861. CC

They’ve always been libs but they appear more biased today and back in 60s/70s there were a few anchors ....newsreaders....not as flagrant

The Left then of which I was admittedly pretty much a member hated the alphabet networks and print media and found them not lefty enough

The left today and most of the media and Hollywood and Internet tech are fellow travelers

They view Rachel Maddow and Van Jones and Don Lemon as peers and contemporaries

Plus the network owners like Paley and especially Sarnoff were not lefties per se

Sarnoff was a serious righty and Paley knew the limits like the Howard K Smith affair
