The MSM is biased against Dems, and for Repukes, for Trump, for Conservatives.

After Nixon was forced out, Cons were so convinced of the exact opposite that they bought themselves an entire media ecosystem to put out explicitly biased news and opinion. Now it crowds out "traditional", "objective" journalism.

Can you tell me who at the NYT, to name DU's main Bete Noir, is biased for Trump, and against Dems? AG Sulzberger? The editors? The individual reporters? Is it all of them working in concert?
