1. They don't have to do as much research, they just have to repeat the talking points ...

2. They don't have to apologize for getting a story wrong ...

3. More money comes in as "advertising dollars" portraying the Dem proposals in a bad light ...

4. No matter how much the Dems cut the taxes, the corporate owners will sit there and say "It's not enough."

5. If a Democrat criticizes the media ... "it's a personal attack".
