Why Republicans love the American media?

Because it is so easy to manipulate.

They understand that the media gets very defensive at the mere mention of "liberal bias" and will bend over backwards to give the Republican point of view, however ridiculous or false.

They understand also, that the media tends to accept their version of stories or events as factual, while always questioning the Democratic "liberal" side.

Because they have the establishment on their side at all times and the media is threatened if they do not adhere to the establishment version of events.

Republicans understand the control that they have over the media of this country. They do not fear the truth ever coming out, no matter how much damage or destruction they might cause. They can lie about reasons for war. They can lie about their political opponents. They can lie about their own records.

Because they know they control the media.
