18. TFG got $billions of free advertising by the MSM in 2016

It's all about attracting viewers, not responsible journalism.

The GOP will label it the "liberal media" but that doesn't hold water when the MSM pushes the storyline of Dems in disarray and Biden in trouble at every opportunity, while often ignoring the utter recklessness of the GQP when it comes to actual governing.

But stochastic terrorism is another matter. My wife is a longtime subscriber to the Chicago Tribune, which had always been the Republican newspaper in town. However, they endorsed TFG's opponent (Clinton & Biden) in the last two presidential elections, and they always call out the claims of a stolen election as false and without merit.

As much as we dislike the storylines sometimes pushed in the MSM, there's a big difference between that and Fox News and Infowars.
