Found via ace of spades, who notes that "Trump supporting Republicans are entirely absent from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC" and that "By refusing to permit any conservative commentators on, they're not trying to inform the audience with a broad spectrum of diverse opinion."

Why aren’t these outlets whose bias is fully verifiable sued for contributions in kind to the dems? Seems a slam dunk to me.

Revoke their license for three years.

Somehow the public will survive.

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWSqboZr1w

“A community is low on a ‘Respect’ scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.”

“...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...”

“A community rates low on the ‘Information’ scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.”

“See how a community trains its teachers”
“...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.”

“And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...”

Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

“The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

The Ministry of Propaganda will never do anything but propaganda.

They have no interest in informing an audience with a broad spectrum of diverse opinion.

That’s the opposite of what they do.

Or the media’s histrionics are poisoning their own position of relevance and they will never be capable of repairing the damage they are doing to their ability to attract an audience.

Just saw a spot on FNC touting Pence for president!! Looked like an actual campaign ad. Is the VP vying for the top spot??

On the PBS “News” Hour, the weekly political wrap features David Brooks (RINO, Swamp) and Mark Shields (Liberal, Swamp).

When the main Swampmen are absent, they have other Trump-hating RINOs such as Michael Gerson, etc.

IF PBS was as biased against liberals as they are against Trump supporters the weekly political wrap would feature Steve Bannon representing conservatives and Cory Ledwandowski representing “liberals”.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The media, all leftist, use these “Republican” losers as just another weapon in their arsenal.

The DNC-Media should be paying huge fines for illegal election in-kind contributions for helping their Democrat candidates in any way they can. You can do a ratio of negative articles about the parties, and see the Democrats have been treated with kid gloves and the Republicans have gotten the preponderance of negative attacks. It is so biased a case should be made in Federal Court, now.
