Back during the Carter administration that paralleled the move to make news divisions profit centers. All 4 major networks today have conservative ownership so what else are you to expect. And it that wasn't enough, along came Citizens United, which will forever define the Roberts court. Reporters aren't being honest because that is the desire of the conservative ownership. It's all about the money.
