Bill Maher Nails it!

13. Very good question. Why aren't the Sunday shows

scheduling as many Democrats as Republicans and others?

There are basically 7 major media conglomerations that are all owned by giant corporations, and I suspect the big, overriding answer lies in that. We do know that all 3 cable networks, not just Fox, consistently biased daytime coverage against Democrats. Both the AP and NYT were caught out in blatant journalistic crimes against Democrats, as well as providing consistently biased coverage in general. This has all been studied, it's not just my notion. Studies with facts and figures available on searching.

I'm terribly afraid of what will happen if we don't get control of congress on November 6, but I am at least downright proud of being an enemy right back to the fine selection of enemies ranged against us. Those who've gotten power on the right really do intend great harm over time to large numbers of formerly prosperous people they've been working on effectively discarding.

Those declining wages for half of Americans? Global wealth quadrupled over the last 35 years due to advances in production. A majority of it was accumulated right here by new ultrawealthy classes. At the same time, they used the enormous power that gave them to, cut our cash wages, just take away (poof!) the benefits we earned in the form of deferred wages, put us on partial work weeks to avoid labor laws, and start replacing employees with robots.

There are 330,000,000 of us. We'll stop them, resume the redistribution of income Obama was able to begin in spite of everything,and as citizens of an enormously prosperous nation we will establish things like a universal basic income, universal healthcare, and affordable college and training for the new jobs technology has created.

But how bad will it get before we do, and how long until we do? Resolving huge power conflicts like this can take history a long time line, or very little. Imagine it depends on when our anger becomes stronger than their ability to keep us divided, and/or how long it takes us to recover from some dreadful mistake that sinks us.
