outlets are run by large corporations, with lots and lots of money. It only takes about five minutes worth of news watching to figure out which side they are on. Yeah sure, there are some media people that are more or less, on the side of the United States President Barack Obama, but most white folk that are hired to report the news are well payed people, so we all know where lots of money leads these hires, to the darkside of the political aisle, yes the right side. Rarely to the left.
