It's state run when the Democrats are in power, that is for sure

so is this the argument? because if so, it's awfully convenient

because if its State run, and the republicans hold all the power, why can't Trump control it?

Bannon cannot be the "man behind the curtain".

He is "out" as of 3 months ago because I read that about 40 times in our wonderful independent press.

Do you disagree that there was a clear lack of journalism by any real standard concerning Obama's terms? The IRS scandal alone would be running 247 against Trump or a Republican.

Trump isn't in the Deep State and you know it.

I do not disagree that the MSM is agenda and target based

Imagine a scenario where Jeff Sessions oversaw a program that gave automatic weapons to Mexican drug cartels and just let them walk away with them... later resulting in the murder of a Border Patrol agent.

He's definitely giving them the rope they are using to hand themselves.

Beginning stages?

Are you defining "beginning" as being in at least the 9th year of it?

Like it's even debatable at this point.

Because it's more accurate to call it "Democrat Run".

Hence, when Democrats are in power, it becomes "state run".

John McCain still thinks he can make the MSM like him. All he has to do is criticize Trump and say nice things about Obama.

We've been there a while. The coastal ruling class runs the news media in this country.

And they were always pissed at the prospect of a Trump or Sanders presidency.

Or, perhaps you were engaging in hyperbole.

because, like I've argued in the other thread, that isn't what we, as a society, really want

we want someone to tell us what it means and we want that person to tell us what we want it to mean


You're right, maybe what we need is for these people to stop pretending what they say is fact. Maybe if you use anonymous sources it should have a verbal disclaimer that what you are about to say is not fact, but opinion and based on rhetoric.

This would cover all news agencies, fox included.
