The idea that we have a liberal media is pure crap.

Can you imagine if Barack Obama or Bill Clinton had just paid $25 million in order
to settle a case against them where they had promised people they would be rich
if they took a fraudulent real estate course that gave them nothing in return but
the course took their life savings and put them 10s of thousands of dollars into
credit card debt. And in some cases the phony real estate course targeted the
widows of the Iraqi war and took all their money in a scam.

While CNN is chasing ratings,

Fox, Limbaugh, Breitbart, IJR, Newsmax, National Review, NY Post, Boston Herald, Washington Times, Daily Caller and other right wing propaganda instruments are being subsidized by the wealthy to push pro wealthy tax cut policies,

And the Washington Post is publishing op-eds by Mitch McConnell that are pure hypocritical GOP lies.



That all adds up to a for-profit media co-opted by the right wing agenda. It's quite sad.
