There really is a media bias!

Don't be ridicules, it is not a bias toward "liberalism" if there even is such a thing, or Democrats. Years of media reporting by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting show that Republicans get far more media coverage,regardless of who is president or what party is in charge of congress. No the media bias is toward making the media more money. If they can make more money with less work all the better.

The "got ya" questions are not about making the Republicans look bad, they can do that on their own. The media wants a food fight. They want attention and ratings which means money. They don't care about democracy, The media do no care if who you elect makes your life better or worse, or they would call out some of this half truth bullshit.

Real campaign finance reform will address the media. Most of the big money buys go to airtime. This is not productive. It encourages media to have only shabby coverage at best trying to create discord instead of informing the public on candidates and policies that will help or harm us. A return to Democracy demands no less.
