It's now making front pages everywhere. Funny, I don't remember seeing that too often during the Bush admin.

3. Years/decades of complaining about the right-wing ownership and dominance of the media
has gotten nowhere.

Until the faces that spew the propaganda are "influenced" to revise their drivel, not a goddamned thing will change.

There really is only one way to influence them, but no one (except the rightists) seem to want to take the necessary actions.

So, complaining about the imbalance is useless.

4. It's because there is a Democrat in office. See, the Republicans bloat it, and nothing is said
as in the case of Reagan and W, and then the Democrats come into office and have to fix it, like Clinton and Obama, and so that's when the corporate media starts reporting it, because they want to get someone back into office in the future to bloat it up again so they can fill their tills.

The end.

5. Many of the Media especially TV fall into that "Rich Category"
yes, some are millionaires. Inspite of the "Librul" Media monaker,
they tend to be Republican in their thinking. Especially when it
comes to money. The GOP runs a guilt trip on them --Obama lovers
and bingo they do the GOP talking points.

The GOP knows what it wants, lines up and goes afterit. They totaly
dismiss how they ran the deficit up and turn it around on the Democrats.

Democrats do not fight back and hope the Media will carry their
water. Wrong Wrong Wrong. But who can tell them anything.
