    They still need people to watch/listen/click/read or they don't make any money and go out of business.

    And you don't think RW talk radio or faux is competition?

    You don't think ABC has competition? CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Newspapers, internet? None are competition?

    If this was true, I wonder why the Democrats need to cut down the deficit when Republicans run up the debt.

    Nah. That is just your opinion.

    Not any more "Bias" than Comedy Sites like Breitbart and Faux News.

    Pot meet kettle.

    They don't....the Dems run up the deficit and run up unemployment...the last time you all had Congress and the Oval Office, we had record deficit and double digit unemployment.

    When the MSM and it's defenders insist that they are not infected with left wing bias they prove that the MSM = Fake News.

    Everyone has known for decades that the MSM is dominated by the rather bland views of the establishment left. Its obvious and consistently monotone bias has become very boring.

    "What makes ethical transgressions by the media harder to swallow is our holier-than-thou attitude toward the rest of the world. Many of those who demand answers for a living turn out to be pretty thin-skinned when the questions are pointed in their direction. ... None of this is surprising - why should media conglomerates behave differently from other Fortune 500 companies? - but somehow it's still disappointing." Howard Kurtz, "Media Circus," Times Books, NY 1993, p. 121.

    Maybe better than being both a state nun news and a sexual predator run news. Fifty percent improvement.

    Less believable than one low level correspondents views presented with no evidence actually reflects the priorities of a company with 20,000 employees?

    They dont sell... that's why their viewership has dropped every year.

    But they influence, which is far more important than profits.

    But you haven't explained how the dems, is their, media, path to prosperity. Or what the media's end goal is.

    I say the end goal of the media is to make money. You think it's something different. Explain?

    No it’s to make money. It’s easier to do that by having monopoly and govt backing...leftist will do that for them.
